While reading your poem I reminded of my own child doing all this nonsense.
You bring life to the poem a well written format, words flow freely easy to understand.

Thanks for giving such a wonderful laugh.
Keep writing.
Good luck for your contest.

    Thaks, Geet
    I always like it when a reader tells me they got a laugh out of my work - it is a lovely compliment.
    I managed to snare a share of first place in the contest.

Wow!! You almost did every thing... I thought this was the almost best feat..... " I almost caught my Mom and Dad playing games in bed;"
I asked my dad what game they were playing and he called it jumping Jack.
Well done with this fun poem we have here old sport.
Good luck in the contest

    I seem to be on a hot streak writing winning poems from the point of view of a young child - my wife says she can understand that perfectly.

Excellent. You've presented the POV of a child in a free flowing poem which made good reading.
The only problem is would the child use such language and difficult words?
I wish you had used simpler words.

    I did have a dilemma in that the poem isn't really for children and yet I wanted to 'sound' like a child. I did have the child make mistakes (flied and choppeded). He did use one big word 'ventually which he would have heard from the vet - apart from that, maybe the least childlike word he used was 'stunt' but not anything really difficult I would have thought.

I enjoyed reading your poem very much. It is cleverly written and well thought out. I'm sure kids would love it too. I only have one suggestion:

"My Daddy days he's really" should it be "My Daddy (says) he's really"
