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

Great stuff jack. I'm impressed that you got the font....Maybe I could take a break now and you could stand in for me...No-one would know

I love Doctor Woods poems and he's one stellar poet, I think the world ought to know it! Thanks for spreading the word on such a talented man.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Anne. He makes me laugh everyday.

[icelandicblue]

He is an absolute hoot. If I were lost in his mind I think I might feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland.
