This poem was written for Pensitivity 101’s Three Things Challenge #352

Today’s three Prompt’s are: Cash, Envelope, Mobile
Here’s my attempt …
Stop! Pocket Search!
Police! Yes you — I demand you stop
Come on, over here. It’s a fair cop
I know you’ve been committing a crime
Now empty your pockets one at a time
What do you keep in your coat pocket?
A mobile phone. Stolen ring and locket
There will be cash hidden somewhere
Maybe a brush with a few strands of hair
The inside pocket has and envelope concealed
I’ll discover what it hides, for now its sealed
Struth! You even have a pocket knife
Please tell me its not for causing strife
Why do you have a second mobile phone?
Eeww, gross! That’s a mouldy scone
No, you can’t eat it later, it’ll do you harm
Middle pocket? Gloves and blueberry lip balm
Someone else’s’ ID, a ticket for the train
I don’t believe it! A mini bottle of champagne
Third phone, more cash you’re up to no good
Where’s the drugs you’ve been selling in the hood?
Cigarettes, vape pen, mints and a lighter
Condoms – safety first, dirty blighter
That’s it, matey. You’re under arrest
For the crimes your envelope will attest
Thanks for reading my friends. As always there are more stories to be enjoyed (I hope) in the Short Stories and Short Stories 2 tabs. There’s also poetry here in Poetry Corner
Have a great day!

It’s hard to keep the rhyming going along with keeping a story going at the same time and you did an admiral job on both counts. Good job, Mason!!
