The Trickster

A tautogram

The trickster tiptoes through the twilight

Tenaciously trialling their tricks thoroughly,

Teasing the turtles, tigers, turkeys.

The trickster transforms theatrically,

Triumphantly traversing towards the town.

Tumbling, turning, twirling throughout.

Treacherous trickster terrorises the town

Townsfolk turn to themselves together

Therapeutically talking to tend to their tricks.

The trickster takes turns talking, teasing

Teaching the townsfolk tolerance.

The twilight turns to tomorrow

The trickster's torments turn tired,

Then timeout.
