You wrote this poem with a great imagination. It would be hilarious if some of these ideas you mention, would actually happen. I wonder if the dog would give up his shoes for the boy?

    Thank you, Rosemary!
    The dog give the boy back his shoes? I doubt it since he's acting like he doesn't know they were his in the first place. I think the dog's just showing off his English. :)

Complete and utter nonsense. I mean how can any of these things speak. I got confused at how the dog got the boy's shoes to fit. tee-hee. This was a joy to read, and I wish I could be a boy on your knee when it is being read. Thank you.

    shoes don't fit the dog, but since he snitched them from the boy and acts like he doesn't know whose they were, I think he's just showing off his English. And I am tickled to death over your last comment.

    Was the dog? an English Setter? 👀😇

    well, that would have been his native language. No, he was more than likely a German Shepherd who'd just graduated. :)

Excellent entry for the For A Child writing prompt contest. I love the presentation and imagery. Great expresive word choices. The rhymes don't seem forced.

Wow, talking dogs would be such fun.

Good luck in the contest.

This is nice and I am sure it will do well in the contest.

I would suggest trying to make sure this stanza four lines instead of five, as it appears. Some of the other lines too. Perhaps reduce the font size or change the view.

Wouldn't it be funny if, along the way you met
A greyhound wearing Nike tennis shoes.
But the boy with the leash had no shoes upon his feet;
You said, "Dog, you're wearing his!" The dog said, "Whose?"

The stanza featuring the hippo and the monkey - it takes real imagination to come up with that one, lol! This is a terrific poem for kids, with lots of rhyming and "silly" imaginings. I like that you gave the reader a chance to join in the game. Very well done.

This is a clever poem with great imagery that leads into the poem. The poem invites us to think imaginatively of some unusual scenarios that we can easily relate to which keeps the interest in the poem and and the invitation at the end works well to draw you in further. Well done and thank you for submitting this for review. Karen
