Karma For Two

KARMA FOR TWO Two young lads not quite in their teens, Twins who carried the same genes, Would every evening run down the street, Each of them became a terrible cheat, But were careful not to spill the beans, A girl undressing, till she took off her jeans. On a dustbin they stood to peep, Tiptoeing as high as their legs could creep, One night a pack of dogs knocked them down, A policeman arrived, wearing a frown, Called their mom, they decided karma was due Justice, for these dishonest terrible two, No friends for the rest of the year, Starting from right now mum said, I fear ( Entered for contest sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire "Justice" 19th December 2018)

Thank-you Dear Heart, Yes Mom wanted to indeed teach them a lesson! A wonderful and blessed Festive season to you and yours, Jennifer.

An interesting image indeed. We hope they learned their lesson! There is a lot to sample in this world, but we need to be careful where and how we get it. We have "exposure" that results from our behavior, and this was never more true than today. Every site we visit and every key we depress is recorded somewhere. It's a pretty scary thought.

Hi Duke, Yes we are like goldfish in a bowl, no secret is sacred or safe in today's world, and news that can make headlines is auctioned to the highest bidder. Having said that, some people deserve to be disclosed! A blessed Christmas to you and your family Duke, Jennifer.

Well said Nette, and the younger you when you are punished the better, hopefully the "the terrible twins" wont repeat the same mistake again! Love and hugs, Jennifer

Ah, if mum was only as good as her word, but modern mums want to be friends, not parents! Good luck! Aloha! Rico

Unfortunately they do and even dress the part of been friends and sometimes, (not always) look ridiculous; Thanks Rico, Yasou, Jennifer.

An adorable take on justice needed and given, I love the lightweight telling of teenage mistakes resulting in teenage aches. I have yet to write for this contest, but really like your take. Soup mail. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thank-you dear Cay Cay, I didn't know quite which way to go with this, and then settled on this one as I am sure most or all parents have come across hiccups and teething problems with their teenagers! Thank-you for your kind words and generous support. Love and hugs, Jenny.

Hi Paul, Thank you Paul, naughty lads, could possibly become big bad boys. Punishment was due! Warm regards, Jennifer.

Yes it was double trouble for Mom Kim, but she had the right idea, punishment now before things got out of hand. Great comment! Hugs, Jennifer

Yes, lead a good honest life because karma will get you in the end. Tom.

Absolutely Tom, naughty young peeping toms could become older criminals such as rapists perhaps! Thank-you for your comment, All the best, Jennifer.

G'day Jennifer... apart from justice, possibly the embarrassment would keep them on the straight and narrow for a while - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

Thank you for your visit Harry! Young people have to learn the difference between good and bad and justice was certainly due for them in this instance. Kindest regards, and festive wishes, Jennifer.
