Charity Police


THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
'generous, just, penalise'

CHARITY POLICE

I suggest the creation of Charity Police,
Checking who has been generous and kind.
Supporters of charities would get off scot-free
While the mean would be heavily fined.
We could penalise those who didn't donate,
Who didn't make big-hearted offers,
And all money raised could be just handed-on
Increasing the charities' coffers.
Think of the jobs that would, thus, be created,
Bureaucracy rampant indeed!
But think of the glow in the hearts of us all!
A country without those in need!

WILD WEST
(An Acrostic)

Wagons rolling, single-filed.
In the West it's very wild.
Leading over the endless plain.
Dust! No sign of soothing rain!
*
Wheels are turning; men are steady.
Every gun is at the ready.
Shots are fired! The dead fall down!
The Sherrif's men have come to town.
