the great escape

The Great Escape

When the police, at the market, arrested a pair
of robbers, a mad cow came scampering, chaos
the robbers legged it. One was quickly caught,
the other ran into a zoo; where the police shot
an elephant and wounded a giraffe, (being big
when bullets fly is a draw back). The bad guy,
was trapped when he fled into an art gallery.
He collided with a landscape painting, destined
for the local jail’s reading room, a sandy road
coast line and an elm forest it had. The painting
parted, as the red sea; inside he hastily ran to
the nearby woods, whence he couldn’t escape;
and had plenty of time to ponder what God was
thinking of when he created the tiny house ant.
