Almost Lunch

Quicksand
Oh, man

Hold hope
Need rope

Loud yell
Tear fell

Not heard
Absurd

Swim out
I doubt

Loud roar
I swore

Bad bunch
I’m lunch

Just then
Came friend

He grinned
Chagrined 

He laughed
Held staff

Pulled out
Rude lout

He mugged
I slugged

Amends
Still friends

great job, Linda. Instead of "you're on a roll" let's say "you're on a footle!"
