Lego Blues

He built a tower,
he stacked it high -
but couldn't climb it,
which made him cry.

She made a lorry,
but lost a wheel,
then bashed her brother -
oh, hear him squeal.

'I'm banning Lego,'
their Mummy said.
'I tripped and stumbled -
and banged my head.
Now go to bed!'

Such an enjoyable read Jack. Brings back memories of playing with excited nephews and nieces. Little pieces do hurt if you step on them! Very well written and flows beautifully. Congratulations on your win in the contest :):)

Lol! Dear Jack, your vivid imagery is enhanced by the quick cadence. I can picture the comical "Lego" chaos. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

A threat and a command by a strict mum who was probably laughing inside when it reminded her of her own childhood :) Most enjoyable, my friend. // paul

Yours reads like a true nursery rhyme. I think Eve will appreciate that.

Some children do enjoy playing with those and I can imagine the pain and accidents that they could cause. You have done a good job in describing a household that has them on the floor and cabinets. Sara K
