Excellent

This is a very cute and well written poem that is so full of funny nonsense. Please check out this one line:
The horse trips over stumbling blocks blocks
try this:
The horse trips over the stumbling blocks.
Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Ciao poet, you have two votes now.

I was disappointed not to see this wee poem on the podium.

The one that is leading has a great artwork choice but I honestly don't think the poem is as good as yours.

I like the idea for the farm.

You offer some truly odd behaviours but they come off humourous.

Also you managed to put it all in rhyme.

I don't get the cuckoo line but otherwise this is excellent nonsense in a Dr Seuss style. Amazing how you sustain one quite unusual rhyme throughout. Well done and good luck.

Right, it was a typo!

What a crazy sounding bunch of animals, all doing unexpected things. Kids should love this and expect grown-ups to laugh along with them as they point out what the animals should be doing.
Best of luck in the contest.
