Best Tom Poems

Forgive intrusion in the fray
I'm making comments today
Tom's limericks, three
were cute as can be
But of Kim and Jack, I must say.....

We all know how well Kim can write
She graces each page of the site
But limerick queen
Jan is a machine
There's no cause to argue or fight...

T_tendernesss and tolerance are his territory.

N_nobility glows in his poetry.
I_intelligence sparkles in all his works.
N_naturalness, nothing forced.

You will have probably heard this story, it's often been told
About Captain Tom who's ninety nine years old
He's a Second World War veteran who's served his country
And was a Captain in the tank regiment in the army.

When Tom needed medical help the NHS were there
And...

John Wayne, once said... 
"Well, I can do it, but I don't know about my horse" 
Well, if anyone can do it... 
It would be "The Duke", of course 

Until one late evening, with the sky half blue 
Clouds of orange, deep purplish...too! 
When another...

Hey Tom, your heart you wear on your sleeve,
Concisely achieve what a poet does perceive,  
Surpassing discerning reporters near and afar,
Keep writing about Putin and his stories bizarre,
You remind me of Churchill, just add a cigar....

Writing great poems on Poetry Soup.
His Limericks put a smile on our face, 
being from the great UK, his birthplace.
His adventures at Milton's Creek thrill us.
They are gripping tales to read, and a must.
The Master of story...

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...

Miss Kitty Katt was famous in the small hometown of mine
And Buster was the town dog -- never knew a boundary line.
Miss Kitty knew no limits except those she had drawn
Which included one she’d posted -- “All dogs stay off this lawn.”

She made it known...

Reposted tribute to Mr. Tom Bell, as per Christy's call for all who had the pleasure of 
knowing Tom to write a poem for him. :)




How is it that someone can touch
Your very soul,
Without ever having met 
Face to face?

How is it that my heart...

There once was a few chaps named Tom, Dick & Harry
Who for Hallows Eve were frightfully scary
For they were trying to undress
A woman you might guess
And scare the pants off of Mary.

So the silly spooks Tom, Dick & Harry
Who in their own way were ready...

My wife deplored her duty

But O' was she good-looking

She sold me on her beauty

But killed me with her cooking

Eight times he looked death right in the eyes,

sometimes facing freezing nights when nobody heard his cries,

sometimes getting into fights with others of his kind,

left almost crippled twice, and one time nearly blind.

Another time he got run over by a car.

No matter, though, he had...
