A Convoluted Story

Looking mighty cute Dressed in a suit He was on route To pick up a loot Ever so resolute Arrived at the institute He thought he heard them call him a cloot Or maybe it was a galoot He really wasn’t absolute These days his hearing is acute They said he had to wait over by the chute They had something to compute Just a problem to troubleshoot So they had themselves a moot He thought they meant we don’t give a hoot Meanwhile after adjusting his boot He sat and ate both halves of a grapefruit Then while waiting he played his flute With his good eye watching things convolute He too has his moments to be astute They looked intensely involute The teller in her jumpsuit was a beaut The manager a snoot and a brute He could tell by their salute They were in cahoot’ Hold’it! Hit the pause or press the mute His patience growing ever so minute He could tell there’d been a fraudulent substitute Persecute Prosecute There’s going to be a lawsuit Someone’s been tempted by the forbidden fruit Submitted on December 21, 2018 for contest BUNNY JUMP HONEY LUMP FUNNY CHUMP sponsored by CAREN KRUTSINGER - RANKED 3RD Originally posted in February, 2018

Oh my, What great monorhyming, Line!!! I remember doing one years ago with the EEZE rhyme but I don't think I had quite as many lines in mine as this one does. Well done!!
