I loved your entry!!! It's definitely one I can relate to. I get so caught up in writing that I neglect my housework, too. :) This is so very well written and I could sing it right along to the original song. Really well done! I loved it! :)

Hi JennaG Thank you so much for your lovely words and six stars. Yours deserved a sixer as well It was the best very clever. I am glad you enjoyed mine too I love these challenges and have fun creating something. I have also done another two housework related poems following 'No Time for housework ' so I must be on a roll they are Too tired for housework and Housework complete. I am going to have FS free day after all my replies are finished. Cheers again Christine

This rework of 'I'm a Little Teapot', No Time For Housework, carries a familiar message to the readers (and writers) that life is NOT going on without you. Put Fanstory on a schedule and live a life.

Hi Bill, Thanks for your review and I do live a very active busy life with many activities including time for FS that gives my brain a workout I think LOL Cheers my friend Christine

This is an excellent contest entry, Christine :) You have the teapot tune figured out perfectly. I can sing along without trying to make it work. I have the same problem you mention in this poem / nursery rhyme song - no time for housework. Ughhhh. Best wishes in the contest.

Hi Joy, Thank you Joy I tried really hard to get the tune and words working together so I do appreciate your great feedback. Yes I do the housework and actually hate too much mess but can have a lapse when it suits me LOL. this site does take up ones times though but hey we are all still here having fun. Thanks for your best wishes. Cheers Christine
PS My second version in this theme is also here 'Too tired for Housework ' I wrote yeaterday after anothe Gym session LOL

A very well-written teapot format poem. I think all poets and writers here agree with you. Housework is far from my agenda when I am writing and reviewing, most housework can wait.

Good one Chrissy, This is very good, I managed to sing your words to 'I'm a little teapot' - even remember what to do with my fingers (only because my daughter has nursery schools LOL). I thought from the picture your reason was going to be because you were too busy 'working out' at the gym, LOL. Well done - Dorothy xxx

ha ha ha - indeed, I'll bet a bunch of Fanstorians have messy homes. This is a cute and clever response to the teapot challenge. Bouncy beat and fine rhymes. Fun presentation!


My only critique is your punctuation choices. Suggestions:

I am quite addicted,(NO COMMA) to this site(--)
Here every morning, then back at night.
I've no time for housework,(NO COMMA) when I write(.)
Don't come and visit,(--) you'll get a fright.

With suggestions:

I am quite addicted to this site--
Here every morning, then back at night.
I've no time for housework when I write.
Don't come and visit--you'll get a fright.

Alternate options:


I am quite addicted to this site;
Here every morning, then back at night.
I've no time for housework when I write.
Don't come and visit. (You'll get a fright!)

Made me chuckle. Gonna clean my room now...

Love,
rd

Hi rd, Thank you so much and have made some changes as suggested. I originally didn't have the pinctuation as I posted but tried to punctuate in a similar way to the original poem ai,m a little Teapot I should jave gone with my original thoughts but your fine schooling is better any way. So now I had better get up and into the days events. Gym and then housework after a busy grandies weekend Cheers Christine
