SS: There was a little wicked man...

There was a little crooked man,
Who lived in a little crooked house,
He had a crooked cat,
And a little crooked mouse…

No, no, no… that’s not right!

There was a little wicked man,
Who had a little wicked mind.
He lived in a little wicked town,
And got himself into a little wicked bind.

He took some wicked money
So many people got really sick.
And antifreeze got into the toothpaste
Did that give the little wicked man a wicked little kick?

The little wicked man
Had a little wicked greed
And tainted glutens
Got into the little dog feed.

This little wicked man
Liked money more than most
And bad seafood went to stores
Along another coast.

The little wicked man
Took money for not doing his job right,
And they killed him!

being wicked doesn't pay, eh? I'm going to have to look around your site, are you in Nepal?

That's a good synopsis of the various news stories involved. So sad.

"And antifreeze got into the toothpaste"

Now that is wicked!

Sad, but true. The world is comprised of many wicked little men who value making a dollar above all us. Nicely written.

Sadly too many wicked little people in the world today:(.

Clever take on this topic.

Good combination of the news and the prompt. It's really a horrifying story - let's hope a lesson is learned.

LOL, very good poem! I know exactly who the wicked man is! I so remember that poem, I like your modifications of it better!

You are amazing - I don't know how you are able to be so creative while going through all that you're going through, Bonnie - but this was wickedly well done.

Hi Bonnie - You've been given a Blogger Reflection award over on my blog - and I hope you don't mind that I linked to your previous post as well for some added prayers for you.
