Way to go, Tiddlewoo! (poem)

I wanted to go to Tiddlewoo,

To Tiddlewoo I wanted to go.

I asked a rabbit where it was,

But he just said 'Ho!'

I went ahead and saw a dog,

'Grr!', said he, oh no!

Walked further till saw the mouse,

And ah! 'Squee!' was synonym for no!

Board came, 'Tiddlewoo: 100000 km'

Sooo many zeros! Whoa!

Saw bird and asked, 'Tiddlewoo be where?'

Said she, 'Cheep cheep'  What?? Nooo!

I walked and walked and walked and walked,

Saw sign, 'Tiddlewoo: 1/2 km' Behold the lo!

Trotted me, walked me, sprinted me too!

And finally came Tiddlewoo!

What happened there, I remember it not,

But the place, ye know, was boilin' hot!

A Talking Shoe Wish

If my shoes could talk,

And side by side walk;

It would be just awesome,

Sometimes irritating, but mostly fun!

When it's playtime after school,

My shoes would come jumping, as if so cool;

They'd shout and say,

"Come on, wear us, let's run and play!"

When tired I would pant,

They'd come up sneakily, like little ants,

Those sneakers would sit on my head,

And stubbornly not get off my bed!

Then sneakily, when they would be sleeping, I would,

tie their laces together, and let them be still.

Ha! What fun it would be,

To see them struggle to untie, I'll guffaw in glee!

But sometimes I wish, if talk they really could,

they'll make companions good!

We would chatter and not feel lone,

And have fun in our awesome playzone!
