Poetic Justice

A pickpocket named Dodger lived to become an old codger, alas a walking stick and heaps of pain his getaway speed sadly on the wane. © Harry J Horsman 2010

Cute one, Harry. Imagine an old codger like that still trying to 'raise cane.' Congrats on your win in the contest, and Season's best! ~ Gershon

SUPER!! I think John will get a great laugh from this old man's loss of "getaway speed," Harry. Don't think you even need luck to win this contest. Sometimes, talent stands out on its own! Love, Carolyn
