Hickory Dickory

Hickory Dickory Dock
A fat mouse got stuck in the clock
Big Ben heard him squealing 
The alarm bells began pealing
That's when Tom cat stepped in to take stock.

Hickory Dickory Dock 
A mouse got stuck in the clock
Big Ben threw up his hands in despair
He could find no way the mouse to ensnare
Putting timeline in a deadlock...

Sadly, Tom could do nothing...

      1. Glad to hear that, I strive to be an Encourager 🙂 I just rolled out of bed after a short sleep–it’s 1:38 in the afternoon 🙂 May have to nap some more. 🙂

  1. Good morning yassy. What a novel idea! Your clever, two chapter nursery rhyme, structured in the limerick’s AABBA format, is absolutely amusing! I’ve gotta hand it to you, your “Big Ben threw up his hands in despair” line is wordplay at its finest, too!
