Old Inky dinky parlay voo
Had a race with a green kangaroo
They stood side by side
Inky’s laces got tied
By jingo it caused a foo doo

Poor Inky fell over a murdle
Whilst kanga the murdle did hurdle
Kanga leapt on ahead
Inky’s twang how it bled
He mopped up the blood with a turdle

Kanga ignored poor Inky’s dilemma
And sped off like Pete Smockeremma
With a boing and a bounce
He did loudly announce
I’m the winner of this no problemma!

But Kanga was deemed to be cheating
The lace tying was his unseating
The squidgehawk of the race
Wiped the smile from his face
And Kanga got a blubber beating

The moral of this quindy story
No cheating to obtain false glory
Just ensure you squok fair
And make sure you’re aware
The squidgehawk’s judgement’s mandatory!

Jan, what a great, creative entry for Caren's contest. Only ten minutes p truly inspired! This is just filled with "inky dinky's" and you created a delightful story with a great moral foundation. Reminds me so of Dr. Seuss! Good luck! Stay healthy.

Hi Anne Lise this took me about 10 minutes to write I just wanted to do something fun, something light hearted and nothing to do with the virus which is all we hear about 24/7. From Friday our Island is going into lock down, no one can arrive for 21 days and they must self isolate for that time before they are allowed here, how they will police that remains a mystery!!! - no planes except for medical emergencies. we have no new cases today but one is now hospitalised. just stay safe my friend:-) hugs Jan xx
