Just Doing Rhyme
The Rhyme
I stand accused in my prime
Of stealing nickels and a dime
But not enough to pay the fine
So, off to prison doing time
Innocent of any crime
I see the fence I need to climb
Shoot to kill says, the sign
I really hope that guard is blind
Praying the alarm don't chime
I made the fence, so far so fine
Slipping over, I crossed the line
As quiet as a church mouse mime
Sorry I had to leave behind
All those that are bound by rhymes
