    Yeah, the council flat didn't send a little warning signal?

    Book, huh? That might be the biggest nonsense of all.

Congratulations for winning!
Your poem fulfilled the brief perfectly. It was funny nonsense at its best. Like the fact that you placed it on the moon and the whatchamacallit is just cute.
It flows really nice and makes you smile, giving you a little lift. Great job.

Your poem is filled with nonsense, "With a moon-dog, an alien, Grumpy's old mother, a whatchamacallit, a something or other." LOL! Cute! Children are attracted by those kinds of images, as evidenced by Dr. Seusse's popularity. I enjoyed all the other funny ideas. Good luck in the contest, steveh. - Ah, I just spotted the winner's ribbon. Congratulations! Well done.

This is a fun read. The words are descriptive and paint
vivid and amusing images. The reader-friendly language
makes it easy to comprehend. The attached illustration
is a nice accent. Thank You for your creation.

This has simply got to be a winner. It is delightfully full of sparkling imagery, superb rhyme and rhythm. It is the colourful imagination that has made this work memorable and a perfect competition entry for the brief. Very impressive.

Kindest of regards,

    Thanks, Julie

    A winner indeed, although by the slimmest of margins over rosehill's wonderful tale.

If this one don't win, then the whole thing is rigged. Talking about nonsense, you win hands down in my book. I shall look for it in the booth.
