now that takes the cake!

“Now that takes the cake”

Silly sally sue said
That Tommy Tinker talks too much
so senselessly silly sally sue
Didn’t know that Tommy Tinker talked at all
He was a quiet kind of boy
He sat slowly silhouetting on the wall
Shadow puppets short and tall

Tommy Tinker played alone
He never even talked on the phone
Silly sally sue had invited him to her social party
But although Tommy Tinker’s parents loved him so
They truly forced him and made him go

Tommy Tinker didn’t like parties
He didn’t really like people much, so
He caused problems and troubles
Just so he could play alone

While Silly sally sue was sorting out her gifts
She came across Tommy Tinker’s tall box
All wrapped up with small pox - polka dot style wrapping
She ripped it apart only to find
Tommy Tinker had thought, silly sally sue wouldn’t mind
To unwrap a toad and keep it

Silly sally sue screamed so scaredidly  
Tommy Tinker then talked trippantly
So silly sally sue gave him the slip
And punched him good right on the lip!

Tommy Tinker started to try and cry
But senseless silly sally sue said:
“Tommy Tinker, you are dead!”
Naturally Tommy Tinker went and told
Then his parents asked him “how old?”
Then Tommy Tinker realized
Silly sally sue was super seven years young!
Which meant Tommy Tinker was much 18 years too old!
Silly sally Sue’s parents then made a call
Police came rushing, dogs and all
Tommy Tinker was taken away
In a lonely cell - alone he’d play

Never again would he see silly sally sue
But at least now he knew
Nobody would bother him in his padded cell
Meant for one, Tommy Tinker- that rang the bell

^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^
luckily for you, on your day of birth
you're not a tommy tinker
or silly sally sue
you're a crazy happy racer
with a dollar more or two

    As soon as I get my rongue untwisted I will comment. Oh, I don't need my tongue to comment do I? Just my brain lol! This was very cute and funny too! I think Tommy Tinker got what he deserved and a padded cell is well served. As for silly sally sue, I feel sorry for what she went through. This was definitely some Birthday fun!

    Hello Kryspin,

    I was reading this aloud to a friend earlier...and I messed up on the fourth line! This was a definite tongue twister, I think I blundered at least seventeen times while reading! What is it about these things that makes them so funny? Thanks for the laugh hon, in my current state of mind it was much needed! I hope you had as much fun writing it as other people have reading, it is definitely a nice way to "break the ice" as the saying goes!

    Many blessings,

    Raven Aurora

    Great Job

    Like Poetryality said, this one will come in really handy when the drinking starts. I managed to trip on myself halfway through this write. I think it was simply genius of you to come up with something so tongue twisting to see the party wheels in motion. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest. Avril
