You are so very gracious, O Wonderful Dude! :) Thank you for this honor - I can't believe you went and found this,sir...so much for the 'psychic thing': you were in my closet and I didn't even know it!! ;) ;) LOL! :) So, I suppose it could be true...it might not be psychic so much as psychotic....but, shhhhhh, the little voices have told me to keep that to myself! LOL! :) ;) Thanx again, PD -- you guys take care out there! ;) :) MD :)

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." Obscure Reference Alert!!

So, Two Cities...one in Nevada, one in Alabama...LOL! Hey! I can do obscure, too, sir -- my crazy Sophomore EngLit teach would be so proud -- she never held out much hope for me, think that was at the height of my rebellious stage!! ;) ;) LOL! ;)

hey,, nice connection, pretty slick, MD. I am working my way up to your review of my "even/odd" debacle. Cyndy won't read it to me until I respond to all the rest.

OMG -- am I to understand I am being held hostage in your computer? Seriously? There must be some government agency to which I can appeal -- this is unbelievable...it's like cyber-kidnapping! ;) :) LOL! ;) Tell the hostage-taker I said 'hi'! ;) ;)

Comment from June Sargent
What a clever way to help young ones build a routine that will not only organize their day - but their lives as they grow older. With so many children today affected by short attention spans, this is a much better way to deal with it than with drugs. Or yelling and screaming. Sing song approach - wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
What a perfect rhyming poem for kiddos to learn and get up and going in the morning. I love that it's easily tweaked/adaptable for other areas, such as the classroom to teach other lessons too. Kids do seem to remember with mnemonic devices. I loved School House Rock songs and other little jingles like yours. :) Well done!

Aww, this was a cute poem. I could definitely see some young children indulging and enjoying this one. Best of luck in the contest, I liked this one, so cute and fun!

A really cute reminder for the mornings. I can see how this rhyme could motivate kids to get moving and take responsibility. I know rhyming and singing worked in our house!
Thanks for sharing!

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
I really do love this poem! I raised an ADHD daughter, with multiple learning disabilities, and low IQ, and this would have been a great way to instill in her routine and remembrance.
Entertaining, colorful, well-illustrated, great rhyme!

Delightful little ten-liner. Rhymes are good. I especially like 3,9, and 10. Will share with my granddaughters your entire verse.
The illustration is a great complement to your text.
Best wishes in this writing prompt.

You're right, routine is everything! Although sticking to it can be very challenging sometimes. Your poem is fun and very useful.
