It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning until…
I lost a hundred-dollar bill.
I cried “Oh no!
Why is this so?”

It was a good morning until…
the mail brought a bill for a mil.
My tears did flow.
I cried with woe.

It was a good morning until…
I wrote a bad check for the bill.
To jail I go.
It’s sad, I know.

LOL BJ I'd never write a bad check. In fact, are there many people who do write checks? Everything is so digital/paperless now. :)) Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Linda

Just for a mil? Surely anyone would have given you one. Doubt if you would be sent to prison for such a paltry offence. Cheer up and enjoy your win in this contest. ~~
