Your poem has a good rhythmic flow to it. The overall thought comes through that giving in to the materialistic wants is a factor in spoilt brats.

love her name
excellent abcb rhyme that adds to the humor with pairings like wazoo/too
good action verbs and alliteration in flew and flurried, scampered and scurried
I also like your internal rhymes in each C line
I love that her dolls had their own loo LOL
A fun poem, Steve :-) Brooke

    Thanks, Brooke. I thought I might make my spoilt kid a little different and not a brat, but no, the exploding Brianna had her covered.

I guess she had no stress when she undressed and slept like a babe in the nude. But her attitude proved to be rude as she gathered her things she thought best. Your poem was well written with a bounce to enjoy. Fun read.

    Thanks, Terry. Don't even want to think about the alarmingly overweight babe in the nude!

You do'm the best and manage, somehow, to make it look effortless. I know better. So I'll keep reviewing these exceptional works until you're one day banned for over-qualification. Very creative and imaginative, down to earth and whimsical. Best of luck in the contest. cvc

I thought this was a great poem. An excellent lesson for children. I don't give advice on structure as I'm no expert. But this seemed perfect. Very well done.

Some wonderful rhyming here!
Umpteenth wazoo! Nice sounds- a lounge and a loo!
Very well-written, funny yet irritates that how spoilt this Annabel was!
Pleasure to read:)
Namaste
