Quidonk

Author's Note:

This is a poem I wrote after I researched Dr. Seuss's writing styles.  I am focusing on word choice.

Quid-hi said a mouse

That lived in a quid-house

Who lived with his neighbors

In the small town of Quidonk

His sister, a quid-cat

And his brother a quid-rat

Both squeaked when they saw

a two footed quid-smat

Whoa said the mouse

Whoa said the rat

In Quidonk there should be

No two footed quid-smats

Now the town of Quidonk

Was really a nice place

Though scared was the sister

Just look at her face

So the mouse shook his head

And yelled at the smat

That smat took his two feet

And took two big steps back

Quidonk's back in order

Hooray cried the town

They were all smiles

Not one single frown
