Have you seen my splooble I had it yesterday ?
It slid into my handbag and vanished clean away,
I tipped out all the contents so sure it would be there,
but all I found was something pink with just a single hair.
A splooble is a squidgy thing that cheers me up no end,
I take it with me everywhere a true devoted friend,
whenever I am feeling blue and things are going wrong,
I give my 'sploob' a massive squeeze and then it sings a song.
I really miss my splooble the days are just not right,
because I need my splooble to cuddle me at night,
it worries me immensely to think where it could go,
inside another handbag on a plane to Tokayo!!!

I like this a lot. Never heard of a sploobie before but it sounds fun. I have a squishie rubber ball for tension. Maybe I'll put hair and a face on it.

this was a little bit like dr. Seuse, in a msall way. I liked this piece, good luck in the contest!

This is a fun write. I could use a spooble myself.
Not sure if the final word in the poem is spelled that way for emphasis or if it's a mistake (Tokyo.) Figured I'd point it out just in case

Thank you for contest entry and yes, THIS is what I mean people! Thank you for making me giggle! (Thinks she may have seen the slooble in between the rolls of medical tape that Ida Noe stole last week)
I do need to ask you to review the rules again and edit your notes accordingly. I will be reviewing these poems again before final decisions are made, thanks! Best of luck to you in this and all of your endeavors

That splooble
Now where the hell is mine. I need a soft tune like... Cherish.. But the humor and wit from you poet shall have to suffice. Lol
