This weeks prompt is the word "squish"

 

 

Little brother liked to go wading

In a nearby shallow creek

Mother said "Don't do it"

But sometimes he would sneak

 

"You'll be sorry" she told him

"If a crab bites your toe"

"And there might be leeches"

Those were things he didn't know

 

Thinking he was clever

He returned to the scene of the crime

He went back into the water

But left his shoes on this time

 

He returned home triumphant

Unbitten by crab or toothed fish

But sadly he was busted

When mom heard his little shoes squish

Good one - cute way to capture young strength!

Oh, how children tend to sneak and slither, always thinking they can fool mom.
Always surprised when 'momma knows...'
Lovely structure, reminds me of being "a sneaker" myself.
Those were the days...

Peace,
Wilka

Kay, congratulations - this is such a marvelous poem, cute and funny and perfect for this prompt. Way to go!

Kay, as I said above, this poem transported me (not always an easy job.) I was 10 again, and that, darling (at 50) is PRICELESS.
Thanks for the transporter to the past...
And congrats (well deserved) on your win.
Blessings,
Wilka
