The Statute of Limitations Has Run Out
The Statute of Limitation Has Run Out
By Elton Camp
Most have things in their past
That present life could blast
Whose life’s an open book
So to welcome a close look?
We hope none will ever learn
Things our name could burn
What we did way back when
And wouldn’t ever do again
Such acts and thoughts as those
That we think nobody knows
Some claim such they didn’t do,
They lie about other things too
But the time limit has run out
About such long ago, no doubt
While back then, evil I did do
I’m too old to make any new
(Autobiographical? Moi? Of
course not. It’s just a poem.)
