    Wow, what a fun and lively poem! The use of onomatopoeia with "ping pong, plip plop" really adds to the playful nature of the piece. And the unexpected inclusion of "primp prune" adds a bit of whimsy and creativity. Reading this poem really put a smile on my face and made me want to join in on the fun. Great job!
