My name is Bouncing Bertie, we all know I love to bounce.
But today I’ll cease my movements ‘cos I’ve something to announce.
I expect you’ve heard
already about Blogville’s great event,
Our very own Olympics (and
it won’t cost you a cent).
I’ve answered Mayor Frankie’s call to host a brand new game.
For those of you who love
to write, this is your chance for fame!
I’m asking all
participants to pick up pen and paper,
And tell me why they think
that bouncing is just such a joyous caper.
In not more than three
hundred words, perhaps you’d like to say,
Why, where and when you
bounce, and then with whom you like to play.
Do you bounce upon your Human? Do you like to trampoline?
Do you use a favourite sofa that your 'Mum' prefers kept clean?
Do you use a favourite sofa that your 'Mum' prefers kept clean?
I’m sure you have some
stories, and I want to emphasise
I’ll be most liberal about
how ‘bouncing’ is defined.
Some prose, a poem,
dialogue, a limerick, haiku,
You can choose whatever
form makes your creative juices flow.
I’ll post all entries on
my blog on 29 July,
But you need to mail them
earlier*, you know the reasons why.
You might want, if you like, to send a photo for ID,
Just remember this game’s
all about the words you write for me!
*Entries to be sent to this email between 9th and 18th July please.
As you probably know, there are loads and loads of other exciting events in the Blogville Olympics, all hosted by my fellow dog bloggers. You can enter as many as you like.
Oh I just can't wait!
Bounce Bounce.

Hi Bertie , we will try and bounce something your way. Have a great Sunday.

You know what? I did NOT read your instructions properly. You know what else? That is like totally SHOCKING given how grouchy momma gets when doggies do not read instructions for Mango Minster. Now, I just need to get my quill and ink and get to work.

Mango

ReplyDeleteLife as an Olympic athlete is HARD when you've left it all to the last minute!
Love and licks, Winnie
