A HALLOWEEN RIDE WITH BONNIE AND CLYDE

Bonnie and Clyde were lovers

Chasing throughout hill and dale;

Their minds were always on money

(But their souls sadly headed for hell)

Bonnie and Clyde were famous bank robbers

It was Halloween for them most every night;

Playing around with masks and shotguns

-----Kept their future from looming bright.

Although Bonnie was a raving beauty

And Clyde---- one big handsome Beau-----

Both found money and looks weren't everything

----So to the hell of jail they did go.

Now if you use your ghostly intuition-------

(Watching close at the stroke of midnight)

You can catch the shadow of Bonnie and Clyde

----Still robbing banks every Halloween night!

Douglas, this is wonderful. Coming from me (one that doesn't understand poetry), it's meant to be a high compliment.

I almost missed it though and had you not pinged me, wouldn't have known to put in a link for you which will show up in next Wednesday's challenge. Maybe next time you'll put WWE in your title and tag. I try to run a search for the words 'WWE' and the challenge word so that I don't miss any of them. I love your style and don't want to miss enjoying your work.

That said, I got so involved in your work, I almost forgot to make the link.

Yes, after I posted it I realized I forgot to WWE. Will remember next time.
Thanks for your recommendation Pam.
