Stop! Pocket Search!

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
