Sonnet for Skittery
I do not own Newsies in any way.
There's a reason his name is Skittery
Even though Skittery is his last name
His last name fits him, because he's so jittery
But we love him just the same
Tumbler follows him around
Like a lost dog
Skittery can't bear to take to the pound
Tumbler doesn't mind that Skittery is like a bump on a log
Skittery always complains and gripes and moans
I'm surprised Jack hasn't thrown him out yet
Around New York City, Skittery roamed
When he and Lily met
Nobody will miss him when he's gone,
Except poor Tumbler, who loved him all along.
