Running up the stairs he rapped on the door.
"It's past eight o'clock, he shouted through the lock,
"Are you children in bed?" he asked.
"What on earth are you doing in your pyjamas, running all over the town?" the said.
"No idea" said Wee Willie Winkie, "perhaps it's because I'm a nursery rhyme character!"
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Tapping at the window and crying through the lock,
Are all the children in their beds, it's past eight o'clock?
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

A nice adaptation there :-)
Enjoyed that.
We wouldn't know about Willies wee winkle if he ran a little slower or his gown as a tad bit longer. :p
I loved your adaption.
Did that come out of Quilly?
Anyway, excellent 55 Ake.

Very creatively done!!!
When I was a kid, we had to be home when the street lights came on!
Yeah, some of those nursery rhymes have no rhyme or reason.

Wee Willie Winkie an old, but wonderful poem that we all probably know by heart... :)
I like it! [:-)
These days we have a very different name for middle-aged Wee-Willie-Winkies who peek through letterboxes, half-naked, to check up on our kids, don't we? (smile).
Very creative, Akelamalu, as ever.
Cheers Thom :)
