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
An account of and armed robbery at a grocery store I worked at Written 2/22/25

@bethyrose - 2025-02-23 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!
