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. 7/1/2019 Tania Kitchin’s Humorous Limerick Contest hits the fan - to have a dramatic, usually negative effect

Peter Pan and Captain Hook - what a unique style for a limerick, - adults as well as children are hooked on these characters - loved your poem, Hugs, Jennifer.

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! Thank you for honoring her/him.
