(Poem Smudged in Muddy Fingerprints & Bright Green Crayon)
…
I tugged.
I shrugged.
I ate a bug.
I toad the line.
I clawed
and climbed.
I peed.
I fleed.
I need
a lawyer.

this time.)

Ha.. What a great voice of a mischievous boy..
Nice voice De ~ This made me laugh:
I ate a bug.
I toad the line.
I love that you went little-boy brain. This is perfect.
You have really captured the voice of a little boy!
I smiled!
Oh De..
this reminds me
today of ‘Tom Sawyer’..
if my mother is Internet
savvy i will be deleted too..
from the older folks home..;)
“Though his mind is not for rent
Don’t put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day’s events
The river
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift
Exit the warrior
Today’s Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to
the friction
of the day”
And yeah..

Tom and Huck came to mind for me, too! Especially with that toad. 😉 Thank you.
A fun piece that rocks the prompt. I have heard of “tow the line”, do your share, shoulder to the wheel, but never heard of “toad the line”–is the boy lassoing bull frogs? Smile.
Ha. I hate to say it, but I dont think that a lawyer
could even save you from mama. Not if she is like
my mama. Fun piece.
Haha…totally delightful!
*gigglesnort* 😀 !
oh boy, oh boy! 😂
Hahaha!
This made me smile…love all the word play. Very convincing voice!
Such a delightful read 😀
As a mom of boys ….all I could do was giggle. )
🙂 This was very funny!
