RUN...CALL THE POLICE..HE GOT ME
by T Lewis Chatman

I know that you'll be wondering
if the following is really true
just read this tale and prepare to laugh
if that's the thing for you

we awoke to a noise one night
a real scuffle was going on
sounded like a heavy weight fight
was trying to be won

down the stairs we ran
where lots of lights were out
we heard "RUN...CALL THE POLICE..HE GOT ME"
now what's that all about?

we panicked in the dark
just knew that mom was hurt
found the light switch, turned it on
she was fighting with a SHIRT

just a shirt mind you
that was hanging on the door
it sounded like she was fighting a man
six feet tall or more

I'm not concerned with belief
I was there busting a gut
'cause this adventure about my mom
declared that she is a nut

I mean that as fun endearment
she's lucid as can be
but don't you dare get in her way
if she's walking half alseep
