Kidnapped - For Slap the Muse Contest

Kidnapped. - for Peeking Through The Keyhole Contest The hole where the key’s meant to go Was vacant so I had to know What was outside to be seen But my captors weren’t all that keen It seems I succumbed to a cosh Cos someone was after some dosh Nobody heard when I cried Nobody knew I was tied But I had a knife in my shoe So I knew what I had to do I managed to sever my ropes That were tied by some Bond villain blokes So what lay beyond yonder door I silently traversed the floor I peeked where the key had gone clunk But all I could see was... erm... ‘junk’ And then what passed by was some fellow I swear that that geezer was yellow What was it I’d seen through that peep hole When I saw Peking through the keyhole 31 December 2018 For John Lawless’ Slap The Muse Contest

Thanks so much, Jan, for getting it. It gave me a giggle, but I wasn’t sure everyone would get the remit...
