PURLOINED COIN?


Midweek Motif at Poets United, and
our challenge is to feature money in
our response.  I’ve chosen to put
money in a Halloween setting.

********************

T’was the devil at my door with eyes obsidian
How dare he intrude on my life quotidian!
It’s my money he wants, I said to myself
Well, I’ll not fall prey to the evil elf.
“Be gone!” said I, “ with your moral turpitude!”
Thinking to send him off with some attitude
“There’s no place”, I said, “for your kind on my street.”
But the devil just smiled and said TRICK OR TREAT!

  2. HaHa! I don't even open my door. Well captured--and may our intruders all be cute little ones in costume! Have a great day!

  3. Ha! That is cheeky and funny. Loved the rhymes, and a punchline-like ending. :-)
