Limerick- 86.Brave Tom

Rating: 5.0


At night Tom heard a knocking at his door
Known to be brave, he tried to ignore
Said a voice- 'I am Death
Come to take your breath'
Afterwards, none saw Tom, the rest is lore!

Death can come in the form of a limerick. Life gets funny.

This is wonderful. Death comes like a knock in the middle of the night. You have done a really great job here.10

I just wonder if Tom had his headphone on then would he have heard the knock..Loved it. Interesting write.

Am I missing a mystery in the last line? Do you mean to say brave Tom really passed away. Perhaps, physically abducted by death? Well rhymed as a limerick should be. (10)

Shiver me timbers! ! ! A limerick that is not just a happy-go-lucky rhyme but a scary cautionary tale about people [? ] knocking on your door at night. I really like this, Valsa.... it is a very superior limerick.... plus I like being scared ;) 10++++++++++++

It may be just a fun, but it's happening in Pakistan, Someone knock s the door of one, after that either robbers come in, or the one is shot dead or they take the one with them and one's name is included in the list of missing persons.
