THE MAN IN THE ELEVATOR CM
The man in the elevator looked old and frail
He held a dog without a tail
The man held the dog so tight
It seemed as though the dog would bite
A liitle boy who was standing by
Opened his mouth wide and started to cry
A kind schoolgirl felt very sad
For the now screaming little lad
She was chewing bubblegum and gave some to the little one
Into the lift came a man who looked very weird
With dreadlocks, tattoos and a matted beard
A posh-looking woman held her hanky to her nose
She had a whiff of the odd-looking man, I suppose
At last, everyone in the elevator got out
Except for the old, frail man
All was part of a plan
He lifted his tailless dog into the elevator
And with a shout, he said, "Going up"
The lift gently ascended
I saw a young man and a pup
Hi Charlie
I do not write much at all these days. I saw your contest and I wanted to give it a try.
I realised after writing it that it was too long. I must read the instructions more carefully. It made me write. I enjoyed doing it. Thank You. I hope all is well with you.
Take care (Old Duck)
