Mr. Smoo

Fun lyrical poem. (Smoo rhymes with to or you.) never know... lol

Ha! Ha! What ever happened to Mr. Smoo...
with his big top hat and his dirty boots.
Walked with a cane, his stature tall.
A grunt and a smile he had for all.

Yea, Yea, I remember him well...
Polite and gentle as I could tell.
All the kids loved him so...
Follow him they would up and down the road.

My, my before I left town...
Autumn was upon the ground.
Saw Mr. Smoo walking so slow...
Had a feeling I would see him no more.

No, no it's not a surprise...
thinking back to realize...
one of my biggest memories of then...
was of Mr. Smoo, our big tall friend.

Wow fantastic poem! Reminds me of a Victorian era children's literature. I can clearly see an eccentric, kind, loveable old character with little chimney sweeps and flower selling girls sneaking off from thier duties to flock around him and hear a magical adventure tale.

A interest poem. I like the tale. A nice flow of words and a good character to describe in this poem. Thank you for the fun poem to read.
