Hidden Fortune

A thief who was brazen and blunt, while I slept was performing his stunt. Twas money he sought, I woke up and I thought, I’ll get up and help him with the hunt.

Hi Lindsay, I had a giggle with this one, but I'm sure the thief didn't giggle, he was very scared I would imagine. Great humor. Blessings, Jennifer.

An entertaining Limerick, Lindsay:) I believe the thief will be leaving empty handed, and probably also manhandled! Regards // paul
