Hickory, Dickory, Doc

A tribute to a good friend to everyone here...Inspired by his humorous poetry and his friendship This is what I almost blurted out earlier Doc.

Hickory, dickory, Doc

 

Hickory, dickory, Doc

These words I have chose to unlock

I penned them out proud

And shouted so loud

“It might come a bit of a shock”

 

He wouldn’t, he couldn’t, he Wood

Come up with his humor so good

From over the pond

With his magic wand

On comical soil he stood

 

His smiles, from miles, he sends

And the topic, well that just depends

Though, surely you’ll find

Never once in his rhyme

A word that somehow will offend

 

Oh damn it, the hands on the clock

The tick has just started to tock

So this poem I’ll end

By calling him friend

Hickory, dickory, Doc

I enjoyed Hickory Dickory Dock very much, nice sense of the ridiculous, and what a lovely idea which I am sure your friend was surprised and delighted with. He comes from England it seems so the illustrations you chose fitted the bill. We need light hearted poems to lift the mood from the more sombre and serious ones too. I am English and I think I might have problems with the spelling of certain words! Best wishes, EPL

[Jack...]

Thank you EPL and fear not, I destroy the English language many times each day. :)

And the topic, well that just depends...

Yes, there is not a subject that Doc hasn't tackled (and if he hasn't yet, he will...) Great rhyme to honor a great rhymer!
