This is such a sweet poem. A bit funny. I love it. So much like children. Keep up the good work. You did a great job. I think we are all or were when we were young. Kids will be kids.

Very clever use of the necessary words in a smooth unforced way. It flows well, and one can almost hear the complaint in the child's voice. The photo you have included is the perfect choice. Well done. Good wishes for your entry.

Thank you so very much for your complimentary review. This was my daughter when she was young but since she has become a parent her house is so clean one could eat off her floors. Sometimes they do grow up.
Comment from Janet Foor
Chores does seem like a bad word to children everywhere.
You did an excellent job using the assigned words and writing a fun poem.
Well done

A very well composed poem that uses the required words efficiently and effectively.
The poem has a undertone of humour which engages and entertains.
Nicely done.

Hi,
Bwaahaha! Your nailed this one. Your poem says it all... my father used to tell me over Saturday morning breakfast, "You need to clean your room and help your mother today." Every Saturday!
This poem was so well written with the exact sentiment I had as a child. Why should anyone care what my room looks like but me?
Well done with such an enjoyable post.

This is a cute poem for the contest. I like the way you worked in the required words. You have a good rhyme scheme throughout. Isn't it interesting how children never see a mess? Best wishes in the contest.

You're Welcome!
Comment from Lisa Marcelina
Oh, I loved this! I smiled as I read because this is exactly what my own children do and say, especially my youngest daughter.
In our case, the father is the OCD one who fusses about the rooms being in a mess.
You used the provided words really and crafted an engaging, entertaining poem.

I guess the thing that way lays all human beings, especially in the west where things are relatively easy, we have an attitude of entitlement, and I guess this spills into our "slightly" spoilt children. Beautifully written my friend, you've covered all the required words, and written a great poem. In tetrametric stanzas articulate aabb rhyming, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
