Love is probably the best thing...
Probably. Love in 50 Words. No Ancient Greek Lesson.
Love is probably the best thing
apart from chips or fries
it depends on where you are in the world
no,
not whether chips or fries is better than love
whether you call them chips or fries
depends on where you are from in the world

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Ooooo! The love of food!! Now, you're speaking my language Paul!!! 😋 Congrats on third place for most discussed this week!!
Wooohooooo congratulations on your Leaderboard placement! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congrats on hitting third in the Top Stories of the week. I can't believe I missed this one. You may as well claim 1st place in the challenge now.
Congratulations This was a great read, imaginative and fun. Still cali g them fries 😉
All y'all making me sweat with these author's notes. Though, if one of you places, then I guess we'll know they're not going off the Vocal editor's word count, so I appreciate your commitment to discovery 😅
I LOVE THIS!! Paul, you are so very clever! This made me laugh, smile, and reread it three times so I could laugh and smile some more! Thank you!
Nicely done, Paul, with the little twist you are so good at!
I love this ALMOST as much as I love chips, or fries!!
Love how you crafted this one :) Personally, I might choose fries sometimes 😅
The comments 😪 I really do want fries now. And love. Love and fries. In that order 🤭 Or the opposite order…. I’m not fussy.
Very beautiful with a subtle touch of humor 😀
yum-now I am hungry for fries
We call it fries here and yes, that's the best thing ever. Love probably is the worst thing ever for me, lol. Loved your poem!
Funny Laddie😊… I do love yummy Chips.. hoping for some tonight whilst enjoying a rare weekend at the beach… in summer. 🌺
Love fish and chips too!!! It's probably love!!! Fabulous poem, Paul!!!❤️❤️💕
Definitely 50 words….damn vocal count is always out Ps fries….chips are crunchy
Ha! Love both! Love a chip butty more! Great poem Paul!
Haha, this is the kind of poetic detour I love! Love is great, but let’s be honest—chips (or fries) are a close contender. Priorities, right? Short, witty, and crispy golden perfection!
Burger and fries. Fish and chips.
This is a much easier read on a Friday. And it made me laugh. Laughter is good medicine at the end of a work week! So on Fridays do more of this and less of making me think. Good luck on the challenge! I love your bugger the challenge writing!
I call them fries if they are thin, and chips if they are chunky! Interesting points in this poem.
Great poem. Love the Fries and Chip analogy.
Do you love chips, my liege? If so, what form of love exists between you and chips?
Great one, Paul. BTW, I call them fries when sliced long, and chips when sliced round.
This poem is probably the best thing! Fantastic! Great work! It’s going to win!
