Three Reliable Witnesses

There were three reliable eye witnesses to the robbery.
I was the first detective on the scene; 
did not even have time to put on my overcoat.
One said the perpetrator was young, blonde, five nine, thin.
Another said he was dark-skinned, thirty-five-ish, stocky, with green eyes.
A third said he was not sure if the perp was a woman or a man.
I gave this guy a business card to my other business.
When I am not solving crime from my easy chair, I sell eyeglasses.

It is very important that eye witnesses be able to see. The detective is doing a fine job. I enjoyed your fun poem, Caren. :)

Ah ha! A humorous poem. Thank you, thank you. Everybody is so serious. It can be difficult to find some levity. Thank you for cheering me up. Good job, my friend. Sincerely, Bryan

I try to be non-serious about 99.9 percent of the time. I have ten grandchildren.
