Question: Can you write a poem about a man who held up an antiques store!.!.!.!.!?
!.!.!.using a crossbow!? (Inspired by an answer from Fallen Phoenix!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The bell hanging above the door jangled
And with it rippled his nerves
The dark and dusty corners
Softly lit his inner concerns
May I help you!? came from somewhere
Nope, just looking, was his reply
As he picked up an ancient well-oiled crossbow
Fitting the arrow he'd brought and sighted
In the direction of the voice
And waited
Aimed and ready --
In the dim and dusty silence
He waited
Feeling the heft of the bow
And the single drop of fear
That wetly trickled down his back --
He waited
Silently wondering
How long it would take
To be noticed in this strange and silent place --
He waited
And then
He put the cross-bow down
As it was, ready and loaded
Feeling like he'd been held hostage
And making his jangling escape!.

Thanks for this Q :) [by the way - the third line up from the bottom read when I first typed it 'fully c-o-c-k-e-d and loaded', but somehow all that came out were asterisks, so I reworded)Www@QuestionHome@Com

old Bob Sunny found himself without any money!. Bob had his truck loaded down, heading for the pawn shop way down town, when the old truck started to knock, he was out of oil and low on gas!. Bob thought he better do something fast!. He saw the antique store from the corner of his eye, Thought to himself guess it's do or die!. Bob grabbed his crossbow and bandanna, got out of the truck,walked into the store and said stick um up!. He said I'm sorry I usually try to be good but my circumstances have forced me to be Robbin Hood!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

he robbed me blind
why he did I don't know
he shot my behind
with a cross bow

my stuff was unique
he took it all away
