Excellent

Children will definitely enjoy this little ditty about muffins and puffins. Right up their little allies. Humor thrown in for good measure too.

This meets the contest requirements wonderfully and will truly make Phyllis quite proud. I just loved reading this and cannot think of a person no matter what the mood this would not cheer up. I wish you the best in the voting and thank you for sharing it.

What a wonderful little poem. It, indeed, is fun to read quickly. I have to give you six stars for your work that I will be reading to my little grandsons. You used all of the words in the directions and made magic with puffins! Kudos

Well thank you so much for your wonderful sixer on this one fh! I love this particular kind of dactylic rhythm for a nonsense piece - such fun to write for such a silly prompt! Enjoy reading to your little ones - it's a perfect 'gallopy' piece for small ears.

You did a good job incorporating the required words. The lines have good flow and great rhyme. The artwork is perfect.

Thanks for the author notes. I do not understand them, though.

Good job and thanks for sharing. This is a nice dedication to PStewart.

Thanks Janny - dactylic meter consists of a stressed syllable, followed by two unstressed syllables ... so ...
"flexible, magical" would be read as DUH duh duh, DUH duh duh ...

Thanks Jax - it surprises me sometimes how these silly prompts can have such fun and unlikely responses!
