Story of Bonnie and Clyde

This is a story of Bonnie and Clyde,
who broke the law, eventually died.
Running from cops they gave assault,
Clyde captured, said; “It’s not my fault”. 

“I’m not to blame for robbing that bank.
It was a joke; I loaded a blank.  
I did not shoot that guy on the floor,
He was there when I opened the door.”

“You have no proof”, Bonnie retorted.  
“He took me on a date;” she thwarted. 
“This is Saturday night give us a break,
we were funning, it must be some mistake.”

“I will show no shame, I am innocent.
I am really not trying to circumvent.”
Clyde replied to the officer at hand,
continued his robbery just as he planned.

Nicely written-very witty. And, thanks for the comment to my poem about my grandma turning eighty eight. Refreshing to know you have a grandma like her, too.
