NaPoWriMo 2015: Day 25: Tom Thumb Gets Sauced Again

Tom Thumb is reveling in the spring air and swimming in the sauce

Tom Thumb Gets Sauced Again

Spammy Pipers tweeter Tom Thumb

Decided to sample some rum

He tasted and tasted

Till he got himself basted

The Prompt:

And now for our prompt (optional, as always)! It’s the weekend, so I’d thought we might go with something short and just a bit (or a lot) silly – the Clerihew. These are rhymed, humorous quatrains involving a specific person’s name. You can write about celebrities, famous people from history, even your mom (hopefully she’s got a good name for rhyming with).

Day 18: 

Tom Thumb Shines Through

After drinking way too much of Cuzzin Hildy's fine Shine

Tom Thumb really had to recline

He missed the transport to Antares

Had to hitch a ride on a star beast

But made the show in the nick of time

Prompt:

And now for our (as always, optional) prompt, which takes us from 2015 back to the 1700s. After all, it’s the eighteenth of April, which means that today is the 240th anniversary of the midnight ride of Paul Revere! Today, in keeping with the theme of rush and warning, I challenge you to write a poem that involves an urgent journey and an important message. It could historical, mythical, entirely fictional, or memoir-ical.
