Cat-Ash-Trophic Monorhyme

I’ve got a massive bag of cash
I found it lying in my trash
And though it seems a little rash
I bought a car that’s proper flash

But then a man that had a gash
From his lip, through his moustache
And ending by his left eyelash
Told me that he wants his stash

The tattoo on his head said ‘SMASH!’
His fist was raised and set to bash
I tried to make a rapid dash
But tripped and came down with a crash

He had a gas can, splash, splash, splash
His aim I’d have to call mish mash 
He soaked himself, oh, what a hash
I flicked a match and now he’s ash

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/18/2021 7:29:00 AM Lol this is a hoot Terry, good riddance to the man with the gash. Tom Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 8/18/2021 9:00:00 AM Thanks, Tom. First thing I’ve written in nigh on a week... seemed to have lost the funny. So I’m glad to get this one written. Also been trying (yet again) to get to grips with this self publishing malarkey. Everyone says it’s easy but I just sit and scratch my head. Trying with my first 22 year old novel to see how it goes. Terry
