Poem Title:
Poem
As time quickly approaches On the planed escape Gunther smuggles the files in While Mildred bakes the cake But that doesn't much matter For our two on the run In all the confusion The oven was never turned on So they slipped out the front door When Gladys the receptionist was gone Out for her morning coffee And cigarette on the lawn They made it as far as the sidewalk As far as the authorities could tell When they both turned around Before their bladders gave out They need a new plan of escape One that can be followed with ease Before it's to late Since they're both weak in the knees Our hero's will have to wait another day For their chance at freedoms song For now they'll hang up their walkers And devise another plan on getting gone It was a heated night of Bingo When Gunther got the idea They'd go out with the wash In a basket both hid So they packed up their dentures Along with their Poly Grip As both of them readied For their laundry trip Now in the back of the truck Rolling down 95 Same age as our escapee's If you care to count time They later hijacked the truck When the driver they sacked Now they travel life's highway With nothing but the wind to their back I had a friend ask me to write a poem for her mom and the other inmates at the retirement home...Hope they like it!
