  Minnie’s Stirring. A clever twist to the original Christmas tale.

  I absolutely adored your poem, 'Minnie Was Stirring!' The whimsical humor and recall of traditional holiday lore was truly captivating. Your ability to weave a story in a lighthearted and charming way is commendable, and I found myself smiling throughout the poem.
  
  The setting is so cozy and inviting. Moreover, the reference to 'T'was the night before Christmas' cleverly adds a nostalgic touch, and the playful interaction with Minnie adds an element of realism and cuteness.
  
  Having said that, perhaps you might want to consider adding more descriptive words or phrases to paint an even brighter and vibrant picture for the readers. Additionally, you could tweak the rhythm and meter of the verse a little to enhance its lyrical quality. Some phrases, such as 'Umm, it’s no where to be found……', could perhaps be refined for grammar ('nowhere' instead of 'no where') and to maintain the rhythm.
  
  In the lines 'I forgot to call the exterminator~ Ummm, I did not want them to hurt Minnie', the flow seems a little disrupted; maybe try to connect these lines more smoothly?
  
  Despite these minor points, I thoroughly enjoyed your poem. It really brought out a jovial and uplifting holiday spirit. This is a lovely and joyful creation, that can be adored by not only children but adults too. I look forward to reading more of your engaging and entertaining poems! Merry Christmas! more »
