True-Life Funnies As he threatened me with the knife I thought, “this isn’t the time” I had just come back from my shrink ready to do more work on my things As he growled, “Give me your money!!!” I snarled, “I don’t have any... ...but if you want the debt on my cards, feel free for 25k!!!” I then assumed the pose part Shaggy-part Groucho I let fourth a growl straight out of GI-Joe He got scared and said, “Peace” Then I walked down the street I thought I should call the police Just then he robbed someone else We went down to the station where they new his name and location they had him under surveillance and were waiting for a warrant He was an English learner He seemed pretty nervous I couldn’t decide if I wanted to hurt him Or simply call his parents
