Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

One Hundred and Ten

Bobby, how could you, why would you eat mine? 
Little brother, don't you know...that stealing is a crime? 
I know that my candy...looked quite appealing 
But, what would mom and dad do...if they knew you've been stealing 
I found ten empty wrappers, so you've eaten ten of my pieces 
Some Snickers, some Hershey's and a couple of Reese's 
Now, go stand in the corner and count to one hundred...and ten 
Then promise me you won't never, ever, steal from anyone...again

Gershon Wolf October 30, 2019 at 2:43 PM I'd be worried, Charlie. Bobbie only managed to count to 107, when he finally ran out of fingers, toes, fingernails, cuts, scratches, bruises, etc... LOL! Congrats on your win in the contest! Smiles, Gershon
