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.
