Story 234


                                         The Crime Was Solved


                                     The crime was solved.

                                     An accomplice was involved.


                                     The verdict evolved.

                                               Thus –


                                     With the offenders’ fate resolved,

                                     The prison gates revolved,

                                     As the mens good names dissolved.


                              Change: no apostrophe in men’s.

                                                    Sean


                                     Sean cashed in, all he had to pawn,

                                     To move to the woods where he was drawn,


                                     To fish for trout upstream to spawn,


                                     To use an ax to build his brawn,

                                     To sleep upon grassy lawn,


                                     And wake at dawn, with robust yawn,


                                     Seeing deer and little fawn.
