IPYPIASM - I Was Nearly Nabbed!

I think I was suspected of nefarious doings in the Walgreens this afternoon, but I got away scot free. (What does that mean anyway – are Scot’s naturally free?) I do believe my penguin boggan was both the source of the suspicion and the dismissal of it. After all, what forty-something  woman in a penguin toboggan would actually be UP to something?

I should have known I was in trouble when I noted that the store has giant tilted mirrors along the back wall so that the employees can keep an eye on customers. Nevertheless I was pleased no one was in my aisle, so I quickly placed the poem & took the pictures.

Then I nonchalantly rounded the corner & two men in suits were heading toward me. “Can we help you find anything ma’am?” “No, I’m fine.” “Well, we like your hat.” The nerve! They thought I was suspicious until they got a good look at me. I’m insulted! Doesn’t this face look like it could be up to no good?

Oh well, at least I’ve placed another poem in a shop. I just hope they enjoyed it!

I guess you could be

A long suffering guy

Getting supplies

For his lady

But more than likely

You're a woman

In crisis

And it's either this

Or a machete
