I think there's something wrong with me mentally because even though the poem held all the clues of being kind of a simple, child-like version of the London Bridge Is Falling Down song, I was expecting it to have some sort of a dark, sinister ending. No lie.


That is the most awesome suggestion so far. If this poem weren't 5.5 years old (eek, I am old) then I would probably tweak it as such. As it is... well... I think that it's fine for something that I did hyped up on sugar when I was 17! :D

I'm locking this... feel free to review more awesome, recent poems! :D

Now I'm happy and you just made my day! Thank you, thank you so much!

Hehehe I bet the kids were singing this while raking the leaves up. :) I thoroughly enjoyed that. Good day!

Hehe! Yeah I must agree that this is awesome. Taps into your inner child though many of us here are still considered "children." Haha! Good take on the song. :D

This was interesting, except the verse about the 'leafblower', it was too hard to read easily....

I don't want to read this again or I'll find myself repeating it.....

'rake it up
rake it up'...aaak!!

I am so very glad that you aren't in any regular contact with little kids, otherwise this might catch on, thus forcing me to kill you.

This could be very annoying if they continued on forever and ever and ever and ever...

Get the idea?

LOL! Clever. I like it.



Nouns can verb very well actually, they verb better than some verbs do.
