What's Wrong With My Closet?

Children's rhyme. Read it with a little bounce.

Here's a tale of a tail

That I saw in my closet.

It was green, it was mean,

It was dirty and it knows it.

Slither slather -

Wither wather!

My eyes got big,

And next I saw

Some feet in my closet.

Under my clothes, the little gnomes

Were smelly and they know it.

Sniffle snaffle -

Wiffle waffle!

My eyes were big,

My nose got scrunched,

And next I heard

Some laughter in my closet.

The fairies took joy with all my toys,

They're messy and they know it.

Giggle gaggle -

Wiggle waggle!

My eyes were big,

My nose was scrunched,

My ears turned red,

And then I felt

Something grimy in my closet.

Goblin crumbs got on my thumbs,

That's icky and they know it.

Sticky stacky -

Wicky wacky!

My eyes were big,

My nose was scrunched,

My ears were red,

My hands made fists,

I had enough!

I told my mom

I couldn't clean my closet!

Her eyes got big!

Her nose got scrunched!

Her ears got red!

Her hands made fists!

 . . . and then I cleaned my closet.

Author's Note

Wrote this by request...kinda.

Revision 1: Added the 4th stanza, slightly adjusted the end to make it the narrator's choice to clean their closet after seeing mom's reaction. Also renamed.

This is well thought out and perfectly executed. I laughed several times throughout which was nice considering the topic. Brilliant work.

Very wild atmosphere, with great imagery. It had so many funny things going on. I giggled at the images your poem created in my head lol Nicely done, and a poem well written.

Thanks, this was my first ever attempt at a children's rhyme. If you giggled, then I must have done ok!
