The Dog Blog returns…with an IF poem!

Woof! Hello all you humans out there! I cannot believe that my mum was about to close the IF competition tomorrow without letting me put in an entry! So I said to her this morning: “Mum, it makes me ineffably sad to contemplate a poetry competition without an entry from the greatest cocker spaniel in the world!” (If you don’t know what ineffably means, you haven’t seen my mum’s latest Wicked Word!). So finally Mum relented…and to thank her, I’ve composed a poem all about her and me!!

If I could be my mum

And my mum could be my pet

I’d always scratch her tum

And I’d NEVER call the vet!

I’d let her eat my supper

And sleep upon my bed

And never wake her up, or

Put shampoo on her head!!

Bobby (a.k.a. The Punk Cocker)

So that’s my entry, so there!! I can’t wait to read the ten winning entries on Thursday! Do you think I just might win? PLEASE?

Woof!

Wow! 83 entries into my IF competition…and counting!

Well, I think Thursday is going to be a very long hard day! So far you’ve entered a whopping 83 fabulous poems into my IF competition! Just today and tomorrow left till the competition closes, and I have to knuckle down to the very difficult task of judging the top ten…and the even more difficult task of finding the winner! You’ve all worked so hard, on such fantastic poems, that it’s not going to be easy. But it will be great fun! Thank you for your enthusiasm, your talent and your dedication to writing wonderful poems!

The clock is ticking!!

Hurry! Hurry! If you haven’t sent me your entry for the IF poetry competition, you’d better be quick!  This Wednesday, 15 December is the deadline! So get those pens and pencils out and get writing:- IF you want to win it, you have to be in it!

A big ROAR to all you lovely Kellett Kids!

IF…The Competition is hotting up!

Well done all you kids from Hong Kong and Singapore who’ve already entered my IF poem competition this month! There have been wonderful entries from Canadian International School, Shatin Junior School and Kowloon Junior School in Hong Kong, and from St Joseph’s International School, Chatsworth Orchard Rd and Australian International School in Singapore! Some are funny, some are beautiful and some are just a little bit sad – but they’re all GREAT! Keep up the good work all you budding writers out there, and if you haven’t put your entry in yet, you’ve got 23 more days – so get those pens out and start writing!

Auf Wiedersehen to Singapore…and the kids of GESS!

 Well that was a WONDERFUL week visiting the schools and kids of Singapore, rounded off by a lovely day at the German European School of Singapore on Friday! Thanks to Ranita and the staff and fabulous kids for a great time. I look forward to seeing all your entries in my Competition this month!
