A Twain Tyburn

Wildly

Witty

Very

Scary

Some say Mark Twain was wildly witty

But I found one tale very scary



(Tom Sawyer’s travels through the cave scared me as a child)

HAve you ever been inside them for real, Diane? I lived about two hundred miles from his hometown at one time and got to go inside! Congrats on your win.

Mark's "Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn" were claimed by some to be the same story, Diane. The Twain in your title could have a double meaning. Hun? Smile! Quite neat, a worthy poem. Congratulations on your worthy poem's win. Agape, Moses
