Donut People

Donut People Not all donut people are large or police or thieves Nor are they thin, eating only greens and leaves and vitamins Or exercising on the side of reasons muscularity All this takes time to digest of course Another hole, another donut down Finding the criminal intent within is not a sin Each and every calorie must be accounted for According to health reports and other sources Sugar particles find their way to court Another bite out of crime….(but what about the obvious holes in this story?) Public opinion is all about perception and what went down All energy and money spent takes time to digest as well To track down lost donuts, confections imperfections Bring it to just desserts and deliciousness of justice Our dedicated police will not sleep on just one donut Their job has just begun All citizens of our fine town Can rest assured…. (So let them sleep) Why!...Some of my best friends are donuts…(the mayor shouts.) There is nothing wrong with that Knowing one is out there unconsumed…. Leaves donut people too confused Children are donut people too They eat them all, run back for more….Poof!.....They’re gone Confectioner’s confess and conjecture Did girls and boys steal or simply borrow them? Dusting off sweet powder and tiny prints of suspects Leads to one conclusion Convictions are in order for any one large or small…mostly small When donut snatchers perpetrate such crimes Donut people have their rights to eat in peace Protected from crumby children who steal their treats
