Can You Keep a Secret- Dr Seuss Contest

Can you keep a secret? ‘cause I’ve got one to share I’ve a friend called Fazzbot With green and purple hair. Fazzbot met me yesterday The day before today Fazzbot is an alien SSShhhhh!! It’s a secret by the way. He’s like a purple dragon And a penguin too He’s got green stripes All down his back Like the zebras at the zoo He’s really good at magic All he does is flick his hair With a whizzle… And a fizzling pop! You’re neither here Nor there. Last night he whizzled us Right up to see the moon We ate green cheese and lollipops And floated on balloons. We splashed around in puddles Gave the mermaids such a fright And when some pirates came to swim He whizzled us Out of sight. He’d whizzled us invisible No one could see us there Could they see us? NO! So we burped BUUURRP We burped right in their ear. Then with a whizzle… And a fizzling pop! We went behind the sun Roasting marshmallows on some sticks The sun is lots of fun! Playgrounds full of whirly gigs And whatsa-ma-call-its too Mud that tastes like chocolate Pink elephants That turn blue Then with a whizzle… And a fizzling pop! I could feel my head Resting on my pillow I was tucked inside my bed. Can you keep a secret? About Fazzbot, My secret friend Then You and I And I and You Tomorrow We’re off with our new friend.

Hi Mark, i do like the humour in this fantasy write. This is totally wonderful Mark. It is always nice to write such writes for it takes you back to a much easier time in your own life. This poem does such to me Mark, it does take me back in thought to my own childhood, hours i would sit in my own imagination with my dragons and heroes. Well Mark i must be nothing but a child for to me this write is wonderful. This is a fantasy seven and it goes into my faves....Vlad.

Good!!!!! I see that this stories do need to be published for children's books. I worked with young children for year and these are just perfect for young children.

Thank you Eve. I'm just about to go and look after my livestock and my daughter is flat out drawing pictures. I think I'm coming back to an illustrated book! She's so enthusiastic about it. ; )

It was lots of fun to write, and when I read it out to my children (the first time I've ever really shared anything I've written in person) they were so enthusiastic. Fun contest

Thank you Casarah it was a fun contest once again. My 11 year old daughter has been busy drawing Fazzbot (her impression). I might have to dabble a bit more in kids stuff.
