You Are Hereby Cited

You are hereby cited to appear

In First District Court next Tuesday

To face charges of reckless operation

Of a supermarket shopping cart.

You were observed

Speeding in the canned goods aisle,

Side swiping a parked cart,

and making an inproper turn

at fruits and vegetables.

You were also observed,

sampling grapes and strawberries.

If you fail to appear

The Jolly Green Giant

Will hunt you down and flog you

With an asparagus spear.

I hope I brought a smile.

Like Jessica below me, I wondered what crime I had committed when I saw this in my inbox! Yikes! Was glad to see it was something you wrote; happier still when I read it. Made me laugh and that is always a good thing. Cute, clever and very funny. Thanks for sharing this. :)

Oh my gosh, this was FUNNY! Well written!

When I saw this in my inbox all I saw was "You Are Hereby Cited" and I was like "oh man what did I do!"

I was glad it turned out to be something you wrote, that's for sure. Truly well done!

I thought at first that that was the Green Giant holding the scales.
Hey if we can prove that they do that then we can impeach George Bush for Asparagusgate!
