Tom The Tiptoeing Man

A Poem by Kiyoshiakira

This poem is in conjunction with The Invisible Gate. It's another children's poem just for entertainment and mentions Peter Pan and Jackie Chan but not meant to go against copyright.

"
There was a fellow not made of jello who's feet barely touched the land,
He was known from near and far as Tom the Tiptoeing Man.

His feet were silent like a shadow in the night like the famous Peter Pan.nd
He never jumped and never hopped and absolutely never ran.

He'd sneak around stuck to a wall like the fighter Jackie Chan.
Although he never fights an enemy or escapes as fast as he can.

He was hired by a Thief Master who was a wealthy man.
They sat down for while and came up with a master plan.

He would sneak around and try to steal for his Pilfering Clan.
He made them rich with diamonds and pearls and a priceless wedding band.

He did so well the Master decided to make him the leading man.
He was decorated from head to toe like a huge pension plan.

He was late in his years to the very last day he was a con man.
He was walking out of a door with jewelry in his hand.

He saw nothing in front and nothing behind and goes as fast as he can.
He begins to tilt and topple over as fast as an overfilled garbage pan.

He looked behind and nothing was there so he did not understand.
His heart filled with pain and sorrow for a mistake would have him banned.

He looked around and to his delight there wasn't a lookout man.
He would get away with this stupid default and his rank would outstand.
