Notes About The Poem

For Eve Roper's nursery rhyme contest

 

 

Naughty Tom

Tom was such a naughty kitty cat, when he saw spike asleep on the mat, came up with a plan, ever so sly, he thought he'd sneak in and eat his pie, Tom began to plot his little scheme, tiptoed inside, hoping not to be seen, but then he felt a sudden shock, when closing the gate, he dropped the lock! Hit poor Spike on top of his big paw, so on Tom's tail he began to gnaw! Off he ran, as he began to weep. Next time he won't disturb Spike's sleep!

SO, funny...and the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry! I was watching an action film on Netflix yesterday, and the hero managed to escape from every deadly situation. I think what you've created seems much more realistic and honest. We're never perfect in work or crime!

This is so humorous. Your imagination has focused on Tom the cat. Indeed he has a naughty look. His very face shows that he is up to any mischief. Congratulations dear Silent One on your great placement. I had written one on this image. I was away and by the time I came back, the contest was over. Last time too I was unfortunate. Though I posted it well in advance, I forgot to enter it in the contest.

Naughty Tom got what he deserved. This might be a lesson for children not to pick on people and pets, especially when they're peacefully sleeping. Great rhymes.

Im sure he will disturb again later too, poor tom, not so clever, always gets in trouble hah! Very natural rhymes, not many can do such flawless rhymes! Fun read i bet. Kids will love this one! You surely are good with kids and know what would entertain them while also leaving a deep lesson, to ponder upon! I love the way youv written especially “but then he felt a sudden shock, when closing the gate, he dropped the lock!” That made me laugh! Will send this to my son he used to love tom n jerry. Best wishes
