This very clever poem made me laugh. Then I read in the authors notes that it is a true story. That made it even better. Very well done- Sam

Oh, what an adventure! It's a great way to tell the story, exclaim over little boys and give him his voice, too. Once again, a real charmer; good luck in the contest!

Good story. It might have been embarrassing to you then, and embarrassing to Ryan now, but he did something millions of kids would love to do--some of their parents too.

Good luck.

Ryan: "What's the big deal(?)"

i liked this one and yes it is the sort of thing little kids do. some times you just have to laugh and say "kids will be kids"

i have a two little brothers and one little sis that i look after and some of the things they get up to when i am not looking really does make my laugh and think about the sort of things i did when i was their age.

This was a nicely written nonet poem with all syllable counts in tact. Great storyline.

SPAG:
"What's the big deal(?)

No closing quotes. If Ryan is still talking, just finish what he is saying, and end the quotes on the last line.

Ryan: "What's the big deal?
Little guy was four.
It is only
a stupid
('ol) white
house."

Sounds like my oldest son! Very funny and believeable story. My son once set off a fire extinguisher while we were waiting in line at a restaurant. Not good. Great entry. Good luck.

This is hysterically funny, and as an American, it's great to hear an Aussie perspective. It truly is just a big ol' white house, and why would a 4 year old think otherwise?! Mine have embarrassed me similarly on more than one occasion, though never in The White House!!! :)

Cleverly thoughtout - I can
just imagine the little chap
sliding down the bannister,
just what a four year old
might do.

Good luck with the contest,
Margaret.
