Very nicely done, TSilvy! Thank you! KUDOS
Thank you, Nancy! 😀
Very cute Christmas gift. “My pal” and “my bro” made me smile and laugh. Thank you!
Aw, I hoped it would be fun to read. Thanks to you for commenting! 🙂
What a treat, TSilvy! I’m always impressed when people can add S&H to much-loved songs and poems. I lack that talent entirely! Thank you for this.
Thanks so much, Pat. This was randomly playing in my head and suddenly an adaptation popped in. But don’t diminish yourself: you have A LOT of talent. 🙂 Thanks again.
Cute! Great adaptation!
Thank you!! 🙂
I enjoyed this. You did a good job making it S&H material. Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting! 😀
Love it! Very creative. (Man, I’d lose so fast playing ‘Song Lyric’ ping-pong with you!)
Song Lyric ping-pong? That sounds fun! 😀 Thank you so much for your comment!
This is fun!
Thank you! 🙂
Oh, this is delightful! So creative 🙂 Thank you, TSilvy!
Thanks to you for your lovely comment! 😀
Oh this is clever ?
Thank you so much, exbex! 🙂
Hey, TSilvy, this was fun and very in-character (Hutch sick at the gut and going to sulk at his place – I laughed so hard!). I didn’t even know the original poem to begin with, which lead to what I find one of the most fun thing with fanworks: learning about non-fandom stuff, too! Ended up listening to Bob Dylan, as it happens. 🙂
Ha, so you did discover the Bob Dylan version, didn’t you? 😀 And I agree wholeheartedly: so much “collateral learning” goes into our passion for a fandom! You’re a master at this art, as it is. Thank you so much for your comment, Mortmere! 🙂
