From a Police Report

"Attention, poet! 
Drop the mike,
let the word hostages (plural, noun) go
and get out with your hands up!
A step to the side will be considered an escape from reality."

P.S.: The suspect repeatedly ignored commands to throw down his sharp quill and threatened the officer (singular, noun) to rewrite his life.

I'm not sure this little poem is my best and worthy of a trophy, but it has not yet entered any contest and therefore feels a bit abandoned. That's why I take it out in public)

Cleverly done. Nice little dark humor piece which, I imagine, resonates even better in Mother Russia. Kudos. ~ Gershon
