Limerick.77. Mischievous Tom Comments

A clear picture of impishness has been painted here smoothly. The picture with catapult shows mischief of the boy. Enjoyed. Thanks.

and, YES, i did use a slingshot as a boy, but i did more damage with bow and arrow and BB gun. : (: (

i won't comment on the 2nd line, as i don't understand the following (completely) which i copied from 'Google'. Google is a busy gal! ! ! ! ................. The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth rhyming with one another and having three feet of three syllables each; and the shorter third and fourth lines also rhyming with each other, but having only two feet of three syllables...................bri :)

SO! i finally see how members take liberties with my good name when i'm not looking (see Loke's comment and your reply to it) . : (: ( i was ONLY getting food for my poor family's table! yes, if i hit the fruit vendor enough times when he isn't looking, he runs, leaving all his fruit for me! bri ;)

Was that Bri Edwards in his young days?

Thats such a perfect picture of childhood. Mischief is the beauty of childhood however exasperating it may be.

Impishness is part of childhood, but learning right from wrong is also taught by consequences

Excellent Limerick! I liked the last line. It ended when one ‘handled' the boy! Full Vote, Valsa!

Little Tom, mischief, was his joy In his hands a sling shot his toy Rest is simple to read and enjoy.

The boy! Who needs a better training. Thanks for sharing.

Takes back to our boyhood, which was filled with lots and lots of similar mischievous acts. Nice one.
