Fair Warning Given

Fair Warning Given

By Elton Camp

Bob decided to have some fun with his spouse
Because she kept on complaining about a mouse

“Bob, if you see that critter, do something about it.
You promised to help catch it, but I really doubt it.”

“Although you know a mouse is so repulsive to me,
Even if you happen to see it, you’d just let it be.”

When Bob caught his wife gone to the store,
He placed a bowl, turned over, on the floor

He printed a note and left beside it for her
And hid in the den to see what would occur

“Please don’t pick up this bowl, if you will
Unless what’s underneath you plan to kill.”
