I adore this little saga of whodunnit! It's a perfect mystery, and I like that there's no real resolution, though action takes place in the form of cleaning up. Terrific concept, great pacing and imagery. No snags anywhere for me. Great job!

This clever and well-written poem from the POV of a child is just delightful. It brings to mind the quirky style of Dr. Seuss. And it echoes that heartfelt childish cry when items are lost or broken. "It wasn't me!"

I'm sure your grandkids will love reading it or having it read to them,

My little girl once blamed the mess she had made on the gerbils, so this really resonates with me. LOL
What a fun rhyming story of this speaker's attempts to catch the true clutter culprits red-handed. This had me laughing aloud :-) Brooke

This is a real neat poem. I really got a kick out
of reading this one. It's very funny and tells
a story that we all go through with our children and
grandchildren. Great job.

Love this last verse...

Everything is in order. No toys on the floor.
Dare I look any further? No trucks block the door.
Bookshelves are tidy, the hallway is clean.
So I'm not the sleepwalker? Just had a weird dream?
Or am I the hero who makes the world right?
With infinite courage and my mini mag flashlight!

Sweet little ode, my dear friend... love and hugs, Jack xxxxxxxxxx

What fun this poem was. Could be a short story.
Very well rhymed and rhythm flowed nicely throughout.
Nice flow too. I chuckled as I read the poem. Very well thought out.
Well done.

    Thank you so much. Those little munchkins are always teasing me, just under the surface. Maybe they will be back.
