It's funny because of the rhyming scheme.

you missed out one of the 99,100s.

"Be a hen?" What does that mean.

"more sheen"? Huh?

I also agree with cadmium. This is not poetry. It's just a continued children's rhyme. Furthermore, it makes no sense whatsoever.

The YWS is not a place to post your "thrown together in 5 seconds and has no meaning at all--I just like it because it rhymes" poems. Here we give feedback on poems and writings for serious writers. Please be considerate of the time we are all wasting on things such as this.

Thank you.

:?

I didn't like it. It just wasn't well-written in any way (not that my writing's any good)

If you sang it to your children when you're older, it could be good.

And I would wait a bit longer for comments

i agree with cadmium, from what i see you have posted many little 'poems' and expect replies as soon as you post them, your new and need to get established here, and when you post serious work people will be more than happy to review it

As others have said, this isn't much of a serious poem. This is like a rip-off of third grade humor.

If you're concerned about getting critiques, you might try posting something serious, or at least not being annoying about it. The best way is to comment on other work.

Sorry fishface, I don't really like it either, mostly because it's an embellished children's poem. Also, the lines have nothing to do with each other; they're just there to rhyme with whatever number came first.

Right.

First off, this isn't original. Sorry. Also, you don't count to 100, you count to 100 several times, your rhymes are lame, and...

just....

WHY????

You waited 21 minutes, just be patient! Please!

Anyway, I didn't really like it, it's not completely original, you just continue an old children's rhyme.

I think nobody's replying because your own sense of good is different from everyone else's... No offence.
