The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.

If you want to catch beasts you don't see every day, You have to go places quite out of the way, You have to go places no others can get to. You have to get cold and you have too get wet, too.

And this mess is so big And so deep and so tall, We cannot pick it up. There is no way at all!

Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all.

Teeth are always in style.

Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.

In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!
