Jolly Robber | A 100 Word Story

#352 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

The manner of the jolly robber,
Is quite passive and doesn’t bother,
With the jewel around her neck,
He sees better on the deck.

Lords and ladies walk two by two
Board the ship and admire the view
As they prepare to sail away,
For the promise of a brighter day.

On day three the crew rebelled,
Everyone’s sick and didn’t feel well.
Turns out a disease was brought on board
Biding time then attacked the horde.

No one was safe from the deadly disease
Except the jolly robber who felt at ease,
Till he fell down to one knee.
