A Memorable Senior Moment

A Memorable Senior Moment

By Elton Camp

Old Mrs. Jones reached her car in the parking lot
Oh, but what an unwelcome surprise she then got
For two strange, rough men were sitting inside
With sudden anger, the elderly lady then cried

“I have a handgun that I know exactly how to use.
Get out of that car unless it’s death you choose”
The two men immediately fled with the greatest fear
For the old lady made her intentions perfectly clear

Mrs. Jones opened the car door and took a seat
Attempts to insert her key with failure did meet
She looked around with puzzlement and surprise
A pack of beer and a football caught her eyes

She realized her great mistake and quickly found
Her own car that was parked two spaces down
She drove to the police station there to confess
How it was she had created such a horrible mess

The officer laughed because he had to retort 
Two men had come in to give a scary report
“A crazy, gray-haired old lady hijacked our car.
Please go after her, for she can’t have got far.”
