Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

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!

Gershon Wolf January 4, 2019 at 3:24 PM 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 Caren Krutsinger January 4, 2019 at 9:21 PM I would let him go first, as I know his face so well. Right?

Bernard Chan January 3, 2019 at 7:42 PM 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 :)) Bernard Chan January 3, 2019 at 10:11 PM I love roast beef sandwiches, and the iced tea and chips would be icing on the beef. You're an angel, Caren :)) Caren Krutsinger January 3, 2019 at 9:48 PM 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.

M. L. Kiser January 3, 2019 at 6:33 PM A great ending, "I am an executioner star!" Caren Krutsinger January 3, 2019 at 9:48 PM I just know that I probably have missed my calling as this popped into my dendrite field today making me exceedingly happy.
