Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

The 911 Call

Police approached his bathroom door
Guns drawn in dramatic fashion
In answer to his 911
Noting that his face was ashen

He told them that He locked the door
After waking to the racket
They said, "That was fast thinking sir,"
"To fight crime's, more in our bracket"

It turned out to be a Roomba
There was no thief to charge the crime
Although they had to write it down,
It got a nickel and a dime!
