Poem
"No Money Found" I woke to feeling ill so I called out sick The frig was bare with nothing but a fish stick Looking to my purse for cash I knew I had no stash To the bank I go with nothing but lipstick Once at the bank I heard this loud rushing sound The bank being robbed we were told "hit the ground" With my life placed in my bag this turned to be a snag The doors closed and I still had no money found SkyWatcher - 05-13-17 This is a true story. Several years back I woke up feeling ill so I called out sick. I truly had nothing in the refrigerator or in the cabinets. So I went to get my purse thinking I would go to the nearest convenience store to get some juice and crackers. You guessed it. My purse was bare. I didn't even have one dollar on me. So the next thought was to go to the bank and withdraw twenty dollars. Well that point was mute. I was literally in the bank less than one moment making out a withdrawal slip when I heard and felt this loud rushing noise. It was three robbers entering. They told us "this is a robbery everyone on the floor" two robbers stayed in the lobby while the third jumped the counter to get money. There were some words exchanged but no one was harmed. They did however have guns. When the robbers left the bank doors were immediately closed and locked and we patrons were held in the bank for an hour being questioned by the feds and bank representatives. If that wasn't bad enough we were told we all had to go to the police station and fill out a report. We were now detained for another two hours. It was draining and exhausting. Also believe it or not when all was done I still had no money on me and still felt sick. I guess that taught me... (lol) Further to add to this story. Several years later I was in the same bank doing my banking and I heard a teller and a patron talking of this story of the bank robbery and that the robbers were finally caught. I chimed in to say did I hear you correctly. They said yes. The teller said do you know of the robbery or the robbers. "Know the story" I said I was there when it happened. The teller was surprised and wanted to know more. Funny... Well you guessed it again, that was the last time I called out sick. (lol) This is all true including the robbers finally getting caught. Thank you. Note to Anne-Marie Coreggia. Thank you Anne-Marie for pushing me and challenging me to attempt another Limerick. I hope this was ok and acceptable. I'll keep trying.
