Tom Cunningham Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The One That Got Away

Was Santa pushed? let the Jury decide
The Jury are gunning for Terry's hide
Terry then started to wail
Because they denied him bail 
They then charged him with violent Santacide. 

"Not guilty you cretins it wasn't me" 
Judge asked" are you pleading insanity "? 
While the Judge was distracted 
Terry moved quick and acted 
Hopped over the court railing and was free.


For now anyway

Terry Flood November 30, 2022 at 3:00 PM I’m preparing to give myself up. I have received a confession that should clear my name. I, er, he just needs to edit it. ;-) Tom Cunningham November 30, 2022 at 10:45 PM Mm we're open to all lines of enquiry and the 'perpetrator' will be found. Good news though, Santa's heart miraculously started so it's a lesser charge of assault lol. Could you pass it on to er whoever you think may have done the deed. He has to live or poems about him leading up to Christmas will look silly ho ho ho. Tom
