If I Was An Executioner

If I was an executioner I would be a failure pure and simple. I would believe them. And I would free them. If I was the executioner. They would all ask for me. Knowing how easy I can be. No one would cry. And no one would die. If I was the executioner. So you are all voting for me! What lovely townspeople you are! Sure I will set you all free. I am an executioner star!

I had to laugh as soon as I saw on the list, "If I was an Executioner" under 'Light Verse.' … And after reading it, I'd say that Putin's got nothing to fear from you... :) gw

I would let him go first, as I know his face so well. Right?

Hehe. If I'm ever going to the gallows I'd definitely ask for you, Caren. Save a time slot for me in your busy executing-freeing schedule :))

I love roast beef sandwiches, and the iced tea and chips would be icing on the beef. You're an angel, Caren :))

How does Saturday at 9:17 a.m. work for you? I also fix you a roast beef sandwich and give you a gentle pat for "happiness" as I send you off with a giant iced tea and a sixteen ounce bag of potato chips.

A great ending, "I am an executioner star!"

I just know that I probably have missed my calling as this popped into my dendrite field today making me exceedingly happy.

Thank you Mahtab; they call me "easy, naive, a soft touch" and I could be no other way really.
