Everyone felt bad for him, he'd lost so many wives. But until now no one bothered to find out how or why. After the investigation, Peter Peter was led away. For his culinary preferances he would have to pay. YOU SEE............3
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife but couldn't keep her; so he put her in some pumpkin shells and there he kept her very well. The problem was that she was fat, slovenly, the house had rats. So he took a cleaver and cleaved her head.4
She was then quite very dead. He carved her into slabs of meat for he hadn't very much to eat. He carved the flesh off of her bones, for over-eating she would atone. He trimmed the gristle and the fat, made soap and candles out of that.5
Then he rendered down her bones, to make a glue for repairs to home. He took her glands and scooped out her head, and made a lovely batch of wife-sweetbreads. The rest he chopped up into cuts of meat, though he pickled the ears nose hands and feet. He hung the slabs in the smoke house. He'd ne'er more loved his erstwhile spouse. Once each bit was cured to last, into pumpkin shells the scraps he packed. Then he could easily portion out, just enough to feed his hounds. At last complete he roasted a butt ham, that's what became of Pumpkin-Eater's Dam. Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife and he did eat her, she kept him through long winter fed. When Sringttime came, Peter re-wed.......6

EEEEeeewwwwww! I don't know that I should have enjoyed this as much as I did. The creativity is most unique and clever although a bit twisted for a fairy tale.
Thank you for entering the contest and good luck to you!

I know I shouldn't really be laughing about this, but in spots it was horrid, but in others it was hilarious. Maybe you do have a little bit of a sick sense of humor but than again this is your work and us as readers shouldn't say anything bad about it. However I need to go read something happy and cheery before I go to bed now lol... ~Kahy~

First of all I'm not a dude, second of all, do you think stephen king needs help? how about dean koontz? steven spielburg? did Mary Shelley? did Alfred Hitchcock? or Edgar Allen Poe? i think you need to get an imagination, or at least look up the word.

Um that's just sick. I'm sorry but honestly you do have issues and need help. I can't believe I read that whole thing through. Dude seriously seek some help majorly needed.

I think you need to work on the rhyme scheme, and some of the rhymes in slant don't work

EXCELLENT
huge
You're very sick, you know that?
Stephen King had better watch out!
I can't really say I enjoyed this ... just a bit gruesome for enjoyment ... sick ... But it is very entertaining ...
Let's see what happens ...

how dirty and funny!!!! had a wife and he did eat here, there in the end, sent me into fits of giggles... the only thing that i might say is that the contest was for short stories, so someone might say something about this poem being here, but it's quite fiting to the contest topic, and i wish you the best in the contest... they opened it back up for you, so good luck!!!!

Wow! I have to say, dark and wrong but hilarious in a perverse way.

Disgustingly Amusing
dude, you have serious issues, but this is hilarious. seems like something professional. You have talent... in this grotesque sort of thing. Hard to see, the dark side is...
