Once, a woman was blue.

And she loved to sniff poo!

She wasn't a Smurf;

But when she gave birth,

All of her children were too!

Hello, there! Okay, so this is DEFINITELY not the sort of thing I normally review. I'm just going to point out three things about this:

1. "And she loved to sniff poo!" The number of syllables doesn't work with the rest of the poem. Also, it's just plain weird. (And I mean that in the nicest possible way.) :P

2. "Once, a woman was blue." Can you phrase this in a better way?

3. Maybe consider not capitalizing every line? It makes the poem kind of... um... clunky. :/

Anyway, great job! I laughed out loud while I read this--the absurdness makes it really funny. One thing--why is this Lyrical, Fantasy. It should be Humor, right? Your choice. :D

Keep on writing... and I'll keep on laughing!

Yours in jest,

Wow. I don't even know what I should think about this. This should be filed under comedy, it's that funny. :P I'm sure if you wrote this seriously or just for fun, so I'm not going to review it seriously. I like the mention of Smurfs, the last three lines fit together really well and the beat is spot on. My only nit pick is the line about poo- it doesn't fit in with everything else. I've put all the one syllable 'oo' words below for you to make a different line with...

So just change that line and this will be a nice children's poem. :)
