Sunday Poetry: The Old Man of the Cape - Edward Lear & Ken Lamug

There was an Old Man of the Cape,

Who possessed a large Barbary Ape;

Till the Ape one dark night, set the house on a light,

Which burned that Old Man of the Cape.

The Old Man of the Cape

August Issue Sneak Peek: The Unforgiving Tree

Don't miss our tragic take on Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree. It will sadden you, yes, but it will also throw you from your chair and pull a cry of victory from your mouth. Join us on August 1st to read this tantalizing tale of turmoil and triumph!

The tree was so angry!

The tree was distraught!

The little boy ought to be caught!

And then tied into a granny knot.

Two Gloomy Twins - Byron Bill & Evan Heasman

There were two gloomy twins

Who liked to go for swims

They went for a dip

In a lake of arsenic

Now they're only toothy grins

The Choose Your Own Mystery Winner!

It was a fine, fine challenge this week with a great turnout. Tex and I had to scramble our brains to choose only one person whose piece rose above the rest.

Creme de la creme! Blood de la blood!

So the winner of the Choose Your Own Mystery challenge and the next person heading into fame and victory in the August issue is....

Samantha Kymmelle-Harvey!!!! With her piece Because of Brussels Sprouts. Here is a snippet from her extraordinary piece:

“Greedy girl!” said a little wisp of white. It pulled her to the ground, raining scarlet droplets on her face. “You can’t make me share! I’ll eat you next if you try!”


You'll have to come back August 1st to catch the rest.


Thank you all for sending in your creative babies and good luck with the Blast from the Past - Rats Edition. We await your genius at our inbox.

Sunday Poetry: Young Lady of Claire - Edward Lear & Ken Lamug

There was a Young Lady of Claire,

Who was madly pursued by a bear;

When she found she was tired, she abruptly expired,

Oh Young Lady your life is unfair.
