This is the best one yet. Loved it. The rhyme and flow were right on target. The words were creative and so much fun to read. You must be working overtime looking through the dictionary. Found no changes to recommend or spag. Great, great job. Joyce

The words are all from my experience - I look them up to make sure I'm spelling them right, but they all come from some relative or teacher or neighbor along the way. I am so glad you like the words and the poems! Thank you!

Comment from honeytree
Certainly a poem with a difference and I enjoyed reading this immensely.
How brawls happen!
"Both punches and accusations flew
as people ran higgledy-piggledy.
To think this hoopla all was caused
by bumbling, brash tomfoolery.
So what did Jake the trickster do
when he found himself embattled?
Turned tail toward the nearest door
and through it he skedaddled"
I wonder the brawls that followed after Jake left.

Comment from lawriemac
Oh yes!
A great poem which, not only gives a laugh but also gives out a message.
It's okay being a wiseguy but sometimes the tables are turned.
A good laugh and a good poem.
No spag.
Best wishes

Comment from Max Power
I like that word, skeddadled. Not to lessen the other folderrol within this poem. A very entertaining read, and delightfully funny. Brilliantly clever. Great vocabulary.

Comment from The Rivaling Mimic
You are one talent I cannot hold a flame to. My stuff is nothing co0mpatred to yours. I mean, you just blew me away. You're better than most on this site and I am sure you'll go somewhere with your God given gift. Awesome poem.

Hahahaha lol I enjoyed this and the journey taken with Jake and all the mischief he tried to cause only to have it backfire on him
This is just what the doctor ordered to put a smile and a good laugh into the day.
Thanks again and many blessings to you

Well, I'm glad to hear all is well and that you have the time and electricity to be reading and laughing since I got a couple of responses from you that made me worry about your safety! Glad you laughed at a time you could use some comic relief!!!!!
