What a funny nonsensical poem. Poor Percy just couldn't seem to get anything right. The part about getting dressed up with boots and bowler hat to go to bed created a particulary funny mind picture.

Thank you for reading my silly poem :) I really appreciate it. :)
Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
This is very creative and is something that I think would be especially appealing to children. It brought a big smile to my face, and I'm old enough to have voted in many (ahem!) elections. Your giphy illustration is a very nice touch!
This is so clever and so much fun, thank you for the lift!

Like the video... It is funny. Like this art of the poem the most: "Percy Plenty put his Sunday suit on, when nightfall came he got ready for bed. He put on his top coat, and his red rain boots, a bowler hat, he placed up on his head."
I can imagine how Percy Plenty looks like.
Good writing.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from robyn corum
BN,
It's quite obvious why this piece won. hahaha Not only is it a funny piece that kids and adults alike can enjoy - but it is definitely nonsensical.
But in the best way possible. I bet kids would LOVE to have this read to them over and over. Thanks!

Comment from Liz O'Neill
Your use of the literary techniques make this poem more compelling. You use of alliteration makes this poem more fun, especially if it is read aloud. That is the only way to read a poem. There are strong examples of juxtaposition here too. Well orchestrated.

Comment from lyenochka
This is really cute! And some of the "nonsense" almost made sense as I know you can't find the right food to eat just after shopping. Best wishes in the contest!
A teeny suggestion if you want to change:
"when night fall came he got ready for bed." (nightfall) It helps to know that "fall" isn't a verb here.

It's not a problem in poetry and you express yourself well. Hope you do well!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written funny nonsense poem about Percy who seems to do everything backwards and become the joke of the town for his peculiar ways.

Comment from dragonpoet
Yes, Percy was a bit mixed up. I like how everything is opposite and he doesn't seem to notice. I like the 'up the down staircase' line because there is no such thing. I also like the little bit of possible sense that is added when he wonders where the fish is.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
