It Wasn'T Me

I know he’s too small to reach but Popeye did it. He has some friends you know, Peaches and Bandit. You don’t know them because they just moved here, but I heard them downstairs when I was nowhere near. Peaches is a big Great Dane like our old dog Patton. Bandit is a friend from our old house in Manhattan. Popeye knew he needed Peaches to give him and Bandit a prop; so he climbed the back of his friend and onto the counter top. How did he get to the top of the fridge? That’s a cinch. He’s been practicing his high jump to get every inch. A small running start and Bandit was there to spring off his back. Like a superhero Popeye soared and knocked down a snack. I came down as soon as I heard the shatter of the cookie urn. And don’t worry, I told his two friends they could never return! 5/5/2016 Tall Tales Contest - judged on 5/17/2016
