I think it would be fun to go running in stilts, but I might laugh so hard that I would fall off. Sometimes we just have to cheer ourselves up, you know.

This is a lovely children's poem,
It rhymes well and you have got the meter an length and all that stuff down perfectly which makes the words flow effortlessly

Hi Grunty, well your poem made me think and laugh, think maybe that pommy air is poluting your mind, but I still love your poem. Your use of the unusual to create impact continues to impress. Hope all is going well, regards Merlin

This is really a fun and cute poem. The rhyming is so clever and well done, you don't even notice it when you read the poem. It is very well written with a great flow. A very enjoyable read!

Very cute. I didn't get it at first. It seemed it a bunch of odd, misplaced sentences put together. Then I read your author's note and re-read the poem. I got it now, it was very clever and cute.Great work and Good Luck.

I think this is either about distraction from unpleasant thoughts or spending money to cheer yourself up, or both. Come to think of it, they're both the same thing really. Or am I missing the point entirely?

All the best, Harry.

This was a cute poem! Short and very readable. I am little confused as to why you chose your title. Perhaps the entire poem, or the process of creating this poem was the distraction you were trying to describe.

In essence this piece is just plain fun.

Hmmm. Intersting to say the least. I laughed at it a few times. Read it twice to make sure i was suppose. But still a little confused about what you mean about discration?

Your rhymes are so clever. Where most couldn't do this without sounding silly, silliness seems to be your specialty. You are too funny. I love your poems.

Whimsically deep and subtle. Self help for depression is what I see, but as usual I bring my twisted mind to the party.
