Notes About The Poem

Picture Prompt Poetry contest,sponsored by Margarita Lillico.

Head Dunk

Fred had a huge sore appear on his head
Feeling itchy, he scratched until it bled
He risked looking like a fool
And dunked his head in the pool
Then gasped at the huge tick floating he shed

This is so clever, dear Tania. You have come up with a great reason for Fred's dunking his head in the pool. Ticks can be so dangerous. Once a tick bit me. With a swollen feet, I had to stay indoors unable to walk for over a month. All the Best.

Lol, one way to get rid of them, drown them. Hope you're having a lovely weekend Tania. Tom
