I need to say what is funny about this poem:- thankyou
The writer of this poem Is taller than a tree As keen as the North Wind As handsome as can be
As bold as a boxing glove As sharp as a nib As strong as scaffolding As tricky as a fib
As smooth as a lolly-ice As quick as a lick As clean as a chemist -shop As clever as a ( picture of an upright rectangle)
The writer of this poem Never ceases to amaze He`s one in a million billion ( or so this poem says ! )

What makes YOU smile in this poem?

I really liked the simile " As quick as a lick". I have a dog that can lick quicker than I can blink an eye... =)

Also remember that the write is describing HIMSELF!
