Riding the Wave

Met a surfer today
  riding the crime wave
Ax-murderer that I am
  he went to a watery grave

I got away scot-free, of course
  police deparment being defunded
Chased me with a carousel horse
  Even I could outrun him

I'll bet that carousel horse couldn't catch the gingerbread man. Of course, that's good news for you. A fun poem, Gershon. :D

Ha, ha! You are right, Evelyn. It is good for me, as the Gingerbread Man and I move at about the same snail's pace these days. Thanks, gw

Police going round in circles again, huh? No wonder you’re still at large. Loved your poem... well I would, wouldn’t I? After all, you’ve got an axe. ;-) Terry
