Caren Krutsinger Poet Limerick

If You Do Not Want Taken Away Do This

If you do not want taken by the police, do this,
It has always worked for me, and I always persist,
I'm guilty! Take me, I scream, 
Running to them in a stream.
Lock me up, take me away, I must insist!

The policemen always smile and laugh,
Thinking I am a psychopath, 
they leave me alone,
and I go on home,
Another day to not do math.

I have myself on video doing this today.
In a dark place I have it locked away.
I keep it in my sock drawer.
So I can watch it evermore.
I love this dubiously silly kind of play!

Help, I can't breathe for laughing so hard! That was good. Caren Krutsinger December 7, 2018 at 7:16 AM I always do it, and they at first look startled, but now one kind of laughs uncomfortably, and the other laughs full out.
