Kim Rodrigues Poet Limerick

Captain Crook

CAPTAIN CROOK

The telescope-kid eyed old Captain Crook.
Underneath the waves, tic toc croc, a-shook.

His sword unsheathed, Peter Pan...
A roar of seas hits the fan...

The croc did bequeath him a hapless Hook.

Caren Krutsinger July 2, 2019 at 7:19 AM A limerick? This is so unlike you, and yet, you did a powerfully wonderful job of it. Peter Pan is my FAVORITE all time movie, play, story, and book!
