This is very clever. It was a joy to read about all the "animals" that live in our houses. I'm sure the kids would love this well written poem.

Absolutely entertaining. Great cadence and word flow. It's true, most grown-up wouldn't understand. Except those who write here! Excellent imagination. Love this.

I love every line of this one. From the first little made up critter to the last slipper head and then the sweet kiddie boppers. Great contest entry. Hands down, you win!

This is fantabulous! Do we have a new Dr Seuss among us? I thoroughly enjoyed this and could almost see all the critters playing and having fun. What a fun write! Good luck in the contest. You have my vote!

    Oh, no! Two comparisons to Dr Seuss! My head will swell bigger than that Cat in his Hat. Thank you.

This is a lovely little poem and you have a wonderful imagination, my favourite is definitely the purple Pudgy!
There should be more poetry like this, in fact it should be compulsory, love it x

--"Come closer now and hold my hand;
Grown-ups wouldn't understand."
lol! I wonder what's up. :)
--Nice rhymes and rhythmic flow.
--"Well that's because within her broom
Abides a baby Babaroom."
lol!
--"In that dark space beneath your bed
Slithers a silvery Slipperhead, "
Hope this part won't be a bit scary. :)
--Interesting 'critters' you created here, with fun, funny names.

    Thank you - I believe most children can tolerate a bit of scariness esp. when associated with silliness...
