Tom Cunningham Poet Footle

Addicted To Footles

Black beard
Was feared. 

Kim Jong
Heads wrong. 

Home grown
Trump clone. 

Fat boy
Food joy. 

Sun baked
Nose caked. 

Fresh bread
Well fed. 

Aged scotch
Top notch.

Amtrak
Rail track.

Choc ice 
Tastes nice. 

War room
More gloom. 

Stay cool
In pool. 

Jail spell
Sheer hell. 

Dark nights
Street lights.

Fab four 
No more. 

Flatline
Bad sign.

Vijay Pandit September 18, 2020 at 12:17 PM Congrats Tom on poem of the day. I remember I commented on this earlier (about Amtrak in particular) but I don't see it. Tom Cunningham September 18, 2020 at 12:31 PM Thank you Vijay, yes you're right you did, I don't know what happened to your comment? I've heard others say comments have disappeared, there always seems to be a problem when potd changes with many comments going on the wrong day but you commented before it became potd.
