That's pretty awesome there, Ma. It might be your best.
Pretty cool you throw down - put your rhymes to the test.
The one thing to remember when you're making Syllable soup -
It's not like that roll down your windowey poop.
It's not about fast, it's about preparation.
You must put care in the craft of your worded formation.
As long as you do that, it should be nutritious.
Low on the fat and the syllables delicious.
You will not need butter, if the words are just right.
Write 'em all down and then edit it tight.

Hi Writer Dad,

Here’s the poem you inspired me to write:

Why Do I Write?

I write for many reasons
Tons I can’t say
I write to imagine
I write another way
I write to tell stories
I write to entertain readers
I write so I can become a leader
I write when I’m brimming with boredom
Or for when there’s nothing to do
I write to inspire others, just like you
There are lots more reasons
Some I can’t name
I’ll save them for
Our next rhyming game

So how did it work out? Did you manage to squeeze out all the syllables, inebriated as you were?
