INSTANT KARMA


A Watermelon Drama

 

It was on the Island of Taiwan

Where this little tale begun

I had to share it with everyone

As all can learn from this delirium!

 

I took a trip around to see

This paradise surrounded by sea

We drove around a little mountain street

On the back of the motorbike, so free!

 

Was it destined good  luck

When we came across a watermelon truck

Among the bamboo forest it stood stuck

With all its precious cargo all amock!

 

My friend took a fruit

And stuck it in my suit

No! I said I don't want this loot

Put it back you brute!

 

But he would not listen

Saying I was a little chicken

I did not expect this on our expedition

So there in juxtaposition I swallowed my Contrition!

 

We parked on a beautiful knoll

And devoured the watermelon whole

Yes the exact one we stole

Will I end up in Gaol!

 

As fate has it our bike would not start

And we pushed it like a cart

To the next town on the chart

Finding a bike shop would be smart!

 

Sixty five NT Dollars was the mechanic's bill

A stall selling watermelons still?

And there .......it was the biggest thrill

Sixty fife NT Dollars ......... if you WILL!

A little bit of Rhyming fun about a true story that happened to me. It's a draft really and I would not mind suggestions for changes.

A great mix between a story and poem. I aspire to follow the same route in presentation for many of my stories as well.

Thanks William :)
I was smiling as I read this fun piece of rhyming story. The blend of humor in beauty, freedom, remorse and retribution so well done. So true to life too. Keep it up.
