Teachable Moment

x
Poor Mr. Adrian Cline
Has a problem too odd to define.
xxxxThough he dictates the rules
xxxxFor running our schools,
He can’t make his wife toe the line.

Mrs. Cline, who was once a Sorrells,
Leaned heavily on her name’s laurels,
xxxxTil her eye began drifting
xxxxAnd she started shoplifting.
Too bad she has issues with morals!

Now Janie is singing the blues.
Her deed’s splashed all over the news.
xxxxShe’ll just get Probation,
xxxxBut her grand reputation
Is something she’s likely to lose.

She intended to steal and not buy,
Got caught with the loot, that’s no lie,
xxxxAnd as if to mock her
xxxxThe evidence locker
Still holds the purse, glasses and tie.

Jane’s lesson is CRIME NEVER PAYS,
But it’s too late to be changing her ways.
xxxxFor her things are tough,
xxxxShe’s looking quite rough,
Indeed she’s seen better days!

And Adrian’s checking accounts
Will decrease by substantial amounts,
xxxxFor he’ll spend his life
xxxxDefending his wife
For taking five-finger discounts.
