Bobby, You Are In Trouble

I spent the whole night dressed up like a witch
collecting lots of candy and then YOU
stole all of it! You’re lucky I’m no snitch,
I won’t tell Mom, but here is what I’ll do:

I know your secrets and the games you play
with different girls that you like at our school
(especially Patricia) and the way
you two-time her. You know that isn’t cool!

You like her best. Well, Bobby here’s the deal.
You give back all my candy that you took
or I’ll be spilling all the beans – for REAL.
Remember I have seen your small black book!

And I’ll be wanting interest for I’d like
not just my candy, but your old blue bike!

Would you have ever done this sis, I think you were way too kind. I could see you thinking this but never doing it. Loved the flow could see this as a song.

Oh, my - it didn't occur to me that we're to actually pretend Bobby is our brother - did everyone do that or just clever you? Talk about serious tone, you laid it on him and again I got a poem visual - your wagging finger. Great job, I got a bit scared you might be holding a wooden spoon! Love, CayCay

Thanks, Caycay, The wooden spoon is interesting for you to bring up. That's what Joe's mom did to him. my poor hubbie having to live with that all his childhood. Last time Bobby did a contest like this, I used his name that time too. After all, he told us "Imagine I were your brother!!"
