Hickory, dickory, dock.
Jerry the mouse ran up the clock
Tom smelled him from afar
Jumped up on top like a star.

Jerry as always was quite wise.
And with a rod struck Tom’s eyes.
The cat fell nastily on the clock
And received a decisive knock.

But alas the clock fell to the ground.
Mammy Two Shoes with a broom chased Tom around.
Jerry slinked into the kitchen for cheese
Cheddar, mozzarella, stilton and more of these.

But Mammy Two Shoes mad at Tom’s disaster fling,
With a broom chased him to make him sing.
Then threw him in the garden quite dark,
Let Spike bully dog ran after him with a bark.

When reading children's nursery rhymes to my children and grandchildren I realized just how dark some of them were. The children don't notice this until they are older. I enjoyed your entry Victor. I hope you are well? Blessings xxoo

Tossing Tom into the garden so Spike can chase him was pretty mean. Still, I think some children would get the message that it's unfair to pick on smaller children. The story behind the poem is a delight, Victor! Best wishes in Eve's contest. Hugs, Carolyn

Cute one Victor. Tom & Jerry were two of my favorites as a child. Tom seemed to prefer chasing after Tweety Bird more than Jerry Mouse though. This one brought back memories. Good Stuff. Hope you win. God Bless, JB
