This is fun and entertaining.
Great rhyme and rhythm carry it

Great little message for children who
complain of being bored.
Good luck in the contest.

I think this is a good entry for the Funny Nonsense Poem writing prompt.
Well written, well rhymed. Your nonsense verse about the humdrums is well done.
Good luck to you with the competition.

Comment from w.j.debi
This is a fun children's poem with a nice steady meter and excellent rhyming. It flows well and is fun to read aloud. It has a good moral to it as well. Make those Hum Drums uncomfortable with some creativity and activity, and they don't want to stay.
Good luck in the contest. I hope you do well.

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
This is so wonderful. I loved every stanza of it. I definitely had a smile through the whole poem. I sometimes get visits from the hum drums and, I too, like to run them off with writing. Best of luck with the contest. Your work fits perfectly with the topic.

Hi, I enjoyed this funny and creative poem about the hum drums. Perfect artwork to compliment the poem. I think the hum drums visit most of us each winter.

What a delightful poem for this contest. Great rhyme, great image and such a fun subject to write about. Don't we all get visited by the hum drums once in a while? I write poetry to rid myself of them, it always works. Good luck in the contest with this imaginative entry.

This is a good one for this contest...
The rhythm and rhyme are spot on...
Didn't see any pesky 'glitches' along the way...
My compliments on this fine little ditty!

Comment from Thomas Bowling
I'm glad you overcame the hum drums long enough to write this excellent poem. You should do very wee in the contest, although it's hard to know what the voters will like. I always think I'm going to win, but seldom do.

Brilliant. I was wondering where those suckers went... I had two energetic days and boy was that fun. I hope you didn't send them back to me, if so... I may reconsider your grade (not) fun read. good luck.

My,my, you were so good at this. I can't do this because I don't have a funny bone in me. Thank you for making me feel good. Children will love reading this again and again. Very well done.
