A granddaughter stole grandma’s truck,
Now grandma is sure out of luck.
The kid’s now in jail,
Granny said, ‘What the hell?”
That kid’s really run all amuck.
Academically, most poetry is just about the author. Personally, I have always felt the best poetry is the stuff that elicits very different reactions from an audience, regardless of who the author is.
Judging by the reactions in the comments, we have a winner. 🙂
I’m with rujabes…definitely has a Marley vibe…I’m going to get another beer…when is that party at your apartment with bigron42 the party trick guy…thinkin’ it sounds like a happenin’.
Heh…lucky find! I used to collect grocery store receipts (or wal-mart…wow) and try to make stories about the people. Kinda funny what you can learn about a person by their receipts, or notes, or their glove compartment contents…*snorts*…ok, never done that last one, but you know it’s true! 😉
This reminds me of the crazy stuff admitted into evidence in criminal cases. One defendant wrote a haiku to the victim (his girlfriend) – something about how her hair made him crazy angry… but at least he was paying attention. I wish I could remember it! I had to leave the courtroom because I couldn’t hold in the laughter.

I like this…has a Bob Marley and the Wailers vibe to it
Wow – you are right. Jammin’
Busted…
Is the emphasis on the Po in police? Because that’s how I’m hearing it.
Love this stuff – did you ever see Found magazine? The editors find all kinds of writings similar to your found poetry.
I’m just a guy with a limerick reply…

This is brilliant. Do you do it as party tricks?
No, but the party at my apartment this weekend might be the perfect time to try that out.
I haven’t tried party tricks yet, but if I can create a million limericks and charge just a dollar each, I could retire.
Bahahahahahhhaaa. A gift, that is what you have my friend.
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it. I try to comment on blog posts with limericks when possible.
Not a great situation. Who ARE these people? Somebody ought to be smacked and understand priorities and respect.
i think it’s kinda sad myself. continue…
I’m thinking this could be a beautiful in a beatnik poetry setting. Especially if the reader is wearing a dandy beret.
Reblogged this on Trail's End Saloon.
This is really clever as poetry.
