Oh, Debra!
Now, this is my kind of happy poem! I love anything creative and fun that is directed specifically to children - and this poem certainly fills that bill. What a great image - and your world are the final stroke. Thank you!

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Debra,
I thought that penguin was witnessing a UFO when he first thought it was the Moon. What is a bowling ball doing up in the night sky?
And, for your information, the moon really is made of cheese. That's why Nasa stopped sending missions up there. Apollo 17 was the last one in 1972 (I think).
"buffoon" and "displayed" are great rhymes. And I like the scientific mind of the penguin, discounting the moon for a bowling ball. Nonsense is always special for kids... and adults, too, I guess.
I wrote a children's poem about the moon back around 2010. It's back there in my portfolio, called "What If". Can I share it with you?
"What if the moon was made of cheese,
And astronauts were mice?
They'd eat their way through Danish Blue,
And Colby by the slice.
They'd place it on their crackers.
They'd spread it on their bread.
They'd grate it on spaghetti.
They'd eat it in their bed!
If the moon was made of cheese,
And astronauts were mice,
They still would have to do their work,
Perfect and precise.
The scientists at NASA
Would really like to know
If there is water on the moon,
Or maybe ice, or snow.
If the moon was made of cheese,
And astronauts were mice,
Every time that NASA called,
They'd let the phone ring twice.
They'd sit there in the spaceship.
On cheddar they'd be lunching,
While scientists at NASA hear
A lot of heavy munching.
If the moon was made of cheese,
And astronauts were mice,
We'd have to give the NASA boys
Some fatherly advice:
"Bring those little astronauts
Back before the dawn,
Or you may look outside to see
The moon is almost gone!" "
Nice instalment for Day 2, Debra! Keep up the good work. Love the picture of the thoughtful penguin gazing at the "bowling ball"!
Hugs,
Kimbob

****** from me, for that little gem, Kimbob!
I love your poem - so funny and special :)
Thank you for your feedback on. mine! I appreciate it, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the read :) - You're right, we all need a little nonsense in our lives (if only to make sense of the mundane!)
Best wishes, Debs x
ps: I tried to nominate you for the reviewing contest earlier, but apparently I'm unable to, as I already nominated you this month! Just please know, I appreciate you ;)
