The Robbery
From the work FAWM 2025
<<<Previous Song Next Song>>>
Composer: Roger D. Linder
The man was there
A gun was pointed
I was feeling
All disjointed
"Gimme cash!"
He spoke so harshly
"There isn't much"
I whispered scarcely
"Hand it over!"
Shaking the gun
I only wanted
To up and run
It all was over
In a flash
And then the robber
Left at a dash
I stood there shaking
Out of my wits
And vowed that day
That I would quit
It isn't worth it
For this small pay
To risk my life
Every day
Commentary

Once again I really enjoy your lyrics and way with words! Even with a more serious/scary situation here you keep the flow snappy while including great rhymes (pointed/feeling all disjointed was a great combo to start things off!). Nice work!
