Caged Creature

Limerick

By Mother CombsPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Ansel was a kid who wouldn’t mind the teacher

She told his parents he needed a preacher

His father went into a storming rage

Then he went home and put Ansel in a cage

What she didn’t know was that he was a creature

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Aww... It portrays a deep meaning. Him being caged? It still happens with some children.
