Premium Member tommy the halloween baby
Tom was a Halloween baby, so we expected him to have magical powers. We ran off to see him in the nursery, but it was over visiting hours. He waved his little fist and the lights overhead began to sizzle and blink. Our godson was really something; at six hours old, he gave us a wink. We bought him...

Is he really political.? I mean he runs no party of that ilk.' Yet I see 'the descriptive given' woven in like silk.) Is he being held as a terrorist.? Or charged? He pleads Guilty of journalisam.? Yet has he been pushed into that Yard.? Guilty he is saying ' yet should that be the case.? Or is he just...

Premium Member For Tommy
In friendship's garden, where we once played, Our words were spring flowers blooming gay. All of grammar and logic at our beck and call, In the linguistic realm, we controlled it all. Sadly, your heart is now but a brilliant star, Yet one I can see wherever you are. In this new silence, all our past words take flight, As their wings...

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: In the Case of Tommy Tucker
Why did little Tommy Tucker Have to sing for his supper? Did he stammer and stutter To merit just bread and butter? And what miscreant oaf Would then give him a loaf But nary a knife to cut through it? Didn't Tom have enough strife In his life with no wife, Or did fat spread on starch Help him chew it? ...

Premium Member The Trials of Tommy Tucker
Tommy Tucker was a youth of slight build, seeming younger than twenty, Which was Tommy's true age; like a lone, silver star, apart from the plenty. Tommy was well known for his great singing voice, so silky and stunning, That people paid to hear him croon; like honey throated bees, humming. But, as it wasn't enough to pay his...

Premium Member Tommy Turkey - typo edit
Tommy Turkey revealed that last year Farmer Joe made old friends disappear. To the new birds he said, “Heed my words or be dead should that farmer with axe reappear.” The new birds thought his tale was a fable. Tommy cried, “Run as fast as you’re able.” To the corn field he fled while his dumb friends instead ended up on a Thanksgiving table....

Meet Tommy Caracos
He once was a pale of mine when we were both young and dumb. He was always a feisty guy - a real hot-head. His ears satellite dishes forever tuned to detect any slight or perceived insult. Time goes by, there are forks in the road for both of us. For years we don’t talk or meet. I hear he’s a successful local plumber...

Premium Member Dracula Cat and Uncle Tommy
I am weirded out the honest frightened youngster said. Deliberately Daring Dracula cat is truthfully wacked in the head. I saw that cat slide under my Uncle Tommy’s water bed. She’s in for a surprise later, I laughed and said. Uncle Tommy was an unusually heavy man for sure. When he climbed into bed, he displaced water on her. She came...

Blame Tommy
At the evening dinner table, a silent sneaky unaware; suddenly a rancid odour permeates our luncheon air, and then all around the table there’s finger pointing or a name, but once the rancid air does clear, poor Tommy gets the blame. Driving along the Murray banks inside a warm and stuffy car, we cannot put the windows down for it’s all dust; there is no...
