There once was a swindler for hire-

When caught, he rushed home under fire.

On his way back,

He drove over a tack,

And now no one will spare him a tire.

About the Creator

Harbor Benassa

I carry a piece of the things that I love wherever I go. I love short fiction, chocolate ganache, forensic science, and, aptly, the water.
