The Snaggleduff of Bondnercray
Has had a very grumpful day
First his snaggle curler wouldn't
Then his mother said he shouldn't
Snaggleboard across the bay
To find a little friend to play
You may think this was enough
For any playful snaggleduff
But heaped on this was so much more
Our snaggleduff just had to roar
One thing came upon another
Chiefly caused by little brother!
It was not his fault the doobey spilled
Nor did he keep the bondbits chilled
And though he could have drubbled clean
To tell him off was very mean
It really isn't right at all
To let him off because he's small
Now if you were a snaggleduff
You may decide to cut up rough
But this is not our hero's way
Even on a grumpful day
So all he does is mutter low
And take his troubles down below

Aww this is a lovely piece for children
I like the words that you've made here like 'grumpful' This was a very interesting story. And if I ever meet any Snaggleduff's I'll remember this poem
All the best

My Goodness, he's loose again!
Snaggleduff, you are trouble!
I will have to burst your bubble
Curl your hair
Hurl you where
The cell is padded and locked double

Snaggleduffs appear to me
To be as silly as can be
Not too large and kinda cute
Life with them would be a hoot
To Snaggleboard across the lake
You'd need some waves and no mistake
Little one would need a throg
Then he could float just like a log
If you have a grumpful day
Just wag your tail, smile and say
Tomorrow we will have some fun
Snaggleduff is sure to come.

The Snaggleduffs you've clearly met
They treated you quite well I bet
Cup of tea and piece of cake
(The carrot sort they love to make)
When I visit Bondnercray
The Snaggleduff just wants to play
He's rather naughty, never bad
And when I leave I'm feeling glad
A happy bunch of folk live there
They get through life with little care
The only thing that makes them growl
Is Snaggleduff out on the prowl!

I love nonsense poems, as I'm quite a fan of Edward Lear's work and yours is very funny. Love the idea of snaggleduffs, they sound cute and cuddly in a mischievous sort of way. Nice one for the kids.

Very picturesque.
You can not help but see two boys in the ever timeful squabling between two siblings in this. Every child and adult has had some bad days when nothing seems to go right and it sometimes would be easier to be grumpy and blame it all on someone younger I have to give credit to you for having the Snaggleduff not do that in this poem.I thouroughly enjoyed reading this, as it is so well written. Very good.

Dear Writer,
I love your rhyming in your poetry its very humorous but still very excellent. It paints a vivid picture in your mind. The expressions through words are un-speakable. Its very detailed and descriptive. Best of wishes! Also, Great Job!
Yours Deeply,
