Poem
The SnaffyLaffy Swiger Looks something like a tiger. His stripes are big and bright Just like a rainbow. They shimmer glittery Beneath the moon glow Florescent green, pink, blue and yellow. SnaffyLaffy is a happy laughing fellow. In the night he likes to prance, And he’ll ask you for a dance, But first you have to find out where he hides. By my story’s end, you’ll know where he resides! SnaffyLaffy’s fun and daffy. He loves sweets, especially taffy. This swiger, cute and stylish, walks with swag. His short and stubby tail will start to wag If you offer him a treat, But not vegetables or meat! Remember, SnaffyLaffy likes things sweet. For a chocolate kiss from you, There is little he won’t do. Roll over or do back flips out your door. I’ve even seen him sweep somebody’s floor! Yes, the SnaffyLaffy swiger, Who looks much like a tiger Can stand up on his feet like you and me, Or like a speedy jaguar he can be Because when there is sun, SnaffyLaffy likes to run, And in the light of day, This swiger runs away. He runs to candy shops the people say. Running through them, quick as lightening, He steals candy; it is frightening How fast he moves. He never ever stops. He takes gummy bears and gum drops, Licorice sticks and chocolate cherries, Stashing all inside A secret pouch he carries. This pouch is on his tummy, Where he stores things nice and yummy And this creature has been blessed With a pouch so strong It is the very best! He’s the only creature known that can survive With only sugar keeping him alive! When the sun begins to set, SnaffyLaffy needs to get Very quickly to his lair. I’m almost done, and then I’ll tell you where! SnaffyTaffy likes the game called Hide and Seek. If you want to take a peek At this swiger SnaffyLaffy, You have to bring along with you some taffy. He will smell it and come prancing. Then with Snaffy you’ll be dancing. Close your eyes and go to sleep Because his hidden lair Is in your sweetest dreams. Dear, precious child, Perhaps you’ll find him there! for Get your Dr. Seuss on! Poetry Contest
