Character

By John McDonough

Hey lead, 

I apologize for the inconvenience,

But give me $1,000,

Or else an action thriller will ensue.

The plot will surface,

And your son’s life threatened–

Kept locked in my cellar

Unless the money is received.

Fist fights will occur,

Gunshots fired,

Yet all of our hearing

Will remain intact.

Your number one concern,

The colossal weight on your shoulders,

Is getting your daughter back safely.

But don’t look at me–

The writers came up with this.

I’m just a character,

And so are you.
