Tom's Date

Tom climbed a wall as he was late, But got hitched up by his clothes; His wails were heard by his stood up date, Who reached him by standing on her toes, Purring, ‘I’ll let you off the hook, I suppose.’ Jack Horne for Francine's Hangin' in There contest, 31st July

This is really cute. Reminds me of something my husbands brother said about his son once. He got up early one morning just at first light to go to the bathroom and as he glanced outthe window saw his young son who had slipped out the night before to have fun in the dark streets with his friends. Cominng home he climbed over their fence and got his pants caught and was just hanging there till someone found him. As luck would have it it was his dad. Great job here. God Bless, JB

Hmmm, I think I may have inspired this one. I'd leave "Tom" dangling from the hook after my recent experiences. Very funny entry for Francine's contest. I just know she'll love it as much as I do. Winning wishes for you! Love, Carolyn
