Don't Shoot the Messenger

Pardon me I have a message

You may think that it's a joke

But the bank has sent this letter

To inform you that you're broke

I can tell by your expression

None of this is very funny

But your wife and her lawyer

Just ran off with all your money 

I know this comes as quite a shock

But Mister Man I'm begging you

Please don't shoot the messenger

I've got another job to do

What can I say Aysha, I've got a silly sense of humor. Thanks for your feedback and keep on smiling.
