TERRIFIC THOMAS
TEETERTROTTER
A Silly Saga in Iambic Pentametre
By Izzy Ess of Terribleness
Terrific Thomas teetered on the threshold
Of tremendous torpor and bestowed
His tower-power to a Theodora
Tallis, who could tolerate some torrid
Porridge and a thrilling drilling by
A cop torpedoing the Taj Mahal.
Terrific Tom, a tea-cup reader, thanked
Professor Teasdale, tankard and tea-drinker,
For the testimonial that transformed
Thistles into whistles.
Tilly Tillinofsky
Threatened to transport ten teepees
To the Transylvanian tough tundra
While a tonne of tenderfoots tamped down
The tricky talented Tip Tigers who
Took up the trail of Taylor’s twin, on trial
For taking umbrage with torrential rains.
Together Tom and Tracy tempted Thor
Who took his time and thyme and asked for more.
THE END
