A Thorny Issue - My Prize Roses Were Stolen! Poem by Chuck Audette

A Thorny Issue - My Prize Roses Were Stolen!

Rating: 4.9


It looks like forced entry
by a criminal hardened -
Where is the sentry
who's guardin' my garden?

He's a retired shepherd
at the bare earth he gawks -
'Sir, it must've occurred
while I was watching the phlox! '

(and, yes, I do feel sheepish about submitting such a bad pun)

Sounds like your shepherd put a pox on your phlox, bud! Does this poem recall a PIM of long ago, or...? Thanks for the great guffaws! Est : ]

Oh c'mon, Chuck! You have got to be pollen my leg with this stuff! I would hedge a bet that 'The Black Dahlia' did it. In any event, it's time for Sam Spade to dig up some clues. GG
