Innocent, Even When Proven Guilty

For D.K.'s Vocal Acrostic Challenge

By Cathy holmesPublished 8 months ago β€’ 1 min read
it wasn't me

Vehemently, you insist. Confidently, I beg to differ.

Only you, simmering in insufferable human arrogance, would dare accuse me with zero evidence!

(Crinkled tissues under my feet and hanging from my adorable, innocent mouth are inadmissible.)

All you say, all you scream, is irrelevant... and assuredly wrong.

Loser.
