Janice Canerdy Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Desperados

Fantastic but totally true,
my story I tell now to you.
This morning a criminal crew
came crashing in out of the blue!
Great fear for my life did ensue.
With cash and gold bricks in plain view,
my rings, and a tv—brand new—
I pled, “Take THESE!” What did they do?
They took all my t p in lieu!

t p--toilet paper

When I said this was true--Alas! I lied.

Gershon Wolf April 2, 2020 at 1:07 PM Cute. You summed it all up well! The Desperados of today will be pretty laughable in retrospect, I imagine. Love it, Janice! :) Gershon Janice Canerdy April 2, 2020 at 3:37 PM Thanks so much, Gershon. Janice

John Lawless April 2, 2020 at 8:16 AM Shoulda saved the Sears catalog...a little rough but it got the job done. Janice Canerdy April 2, 2020 at 8:32 AM LOL, John. Your comment brings back memories of dashing down a hill to that little house. Thanks so much. Janice
