This collection of limericks was written by Thomas Neely (Mister Tom), author of many children’s stories such as Messy Cat, Fuzzy Buzzard, and Pumpkin Critter.  He took his love of writing and storytelling into schools, along with many puppets, to entertain children and to share his love of rhyme.

Tom asked me to digitize his collection of limericks in 2007. I am so happy to be able to now put them in a format that can be shared with a wider audience.

Mister Tom was a talented author with a gift for rhyme.  His words are greatly missed by all that knew him.
