Well I got eight things that appears to be wrong: Identical twins being, different, swam alone but three fell up. Well you can't fall up. Little giant man is a contradiction. And the she should be he, and helping four is also wrong.
Now if the tree is supposed to be an error, then I can say then I didn't see it as one as a lonely tree does grow in the middle of the dessert in Bahrain. It's become quite famous as it defies all beliefs. I've been there and seen it.
Fun poem and a fun contests. Good luck! Ulla:)))

    Ulla, thank you so much for having a little fun with me. Actually you are kinda right. When editing I forgot to make a few changes that would have counted as ten. So I was probably in the middle of making them when you read it.
    I love doing something like this with my friends and I can't thank you my dear friend for your fun review.

Well done. Here goes, 1) identical and different are contradictory, 2)twins would not be one alone, 3)fell up a tree, 4)three not two, 5) little and giant are contradictory, 6) man would not be she, 7) four - only two, 8)if he drove by, he could not help them.

    Anne you are so much fun and I just love that you played my silly little game with me. You actually found them all, as I forgot to make two changes when editing. So thank you my dear friend. It was fun having a laugh with you.

I will not even attempt to lie. This one has me scratching my head. I never claimed to be that intelligent, but on this one I feel like a complete dummy. Were you being confusing on purpose, or is the answer so obvious that only a dummy like me would fail to get it?

    Hahaha! Yes Nomi, this was a poem of contradictions and things that don't make sense. I happened to know that you are a very intelligent guy so it may have been the way I worded the question. Look at it again and you will see that there are many things that should be making you scratch your head.

This was so much fun! As I began to read, I did say, Huh! And then instantly fell into the meaning. It was clever and well done. I loved it. Best, JohnC.

    Hi John. This was a lot of fun to write and even more fun for me to have my friends play along with me. I thank you so much for giving me a few laughs while you too had fun.

This had a whimsical feel. With its childlike nonsense it was fun to visualize and read out loud. As a matter of fact you should include that it should be read aloud. I tried both ways and the reading aloud had greater impact. Like Dr. Seuss. Well done.

    Thanks so much Gretchen and thanks for the fun comments. Fun is my favorite thing to write about and since you read this, I have edited and asked everyone to find the ten contradictions and many are enjoying it as much as I am. Thanks again my friend.

Yes, twins can look the same and act differently. I like how you use opposites and wrong numbers to tell this story.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

    Hi Joan, I think that you might have been one of my first reviewers and I answered them in the wrong order. I had gone in and reworded a few and made more of a game out of it. I like how you caught that they can look the same and act different. That is actually one of things that I changed. Thank you so much for your kind comments for my silly little poem, my friend.
