Toodles McRoodles Head Full of Doodles

Toodles McRoodles awoke

With a head full of doodles

She got up and began to draw

 

Lizard-eyed scoodles

Millipede snoodles

Round-stacked baboodles

Hump-back katootles

Dog-eared pinkpoodles

Left-winged snapfoodles

And

Jelly-fact noodles

 

“Finally,” she said,

“I can go back to bed”

 

Then suddenly she heard

A stampede of words

Running loose…

again.

#50 Precious Words Writing Challenge

March 2^nd is the birthday of the incredible Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Last year I put together a little contest based on Bennet Cerf’s challenge to Seuss to write a children’s book using only 50 words. And the classic Green Eggs and Ham was born. It’s true that the story has over 700 words…but only 50 unique words.

I thought it would be fun to try to write a story for kids with ONLY 50 words. With a beginning, a middle, and an end. I wondered if I could do it. And then I opened the challenge to everyone. Much to my surprise and amazement, there were 128 entries! Ayear has past…and it’s time to DO IT AGAIN.

Please put on your thinking caps and get busy writing. You have until March 6^th at 11:59pm to post your story.
