Half-Baked Heist
Or, How the bandit became a breadwinner
The masked bandit known as John Doe
Growled, "Stick 'em up! Gimme your dough!"
Said I, "This takes the cake, sir.
You've held up a baker!
So, here you go ..." Cried Doe, "Dough?!? D'oh!"
:-b
This poem is dedicated to the creative Andrei Z, who became my 100th subscriber!!! Hooray!!
Andrei accepted my invitation to suggest two words to incorporate in a limerick. He gave me: doe and dough. At first I played around with the idea of a deer who wanted to earn bucks as a tailor ... but then landed on this poem instead.
I'm having too much fun to stop now ... so if you want to play along, click below to subscribe and then comment with two words or one theme of your choosing. I'll credit you in the poem notes (whether you like it or not!).
To my already-reader-friends, if you want ME to give YOU two words or a theme for a funny poem (punny foam?), comment below! Thanks!

About the Creator
Sonia Heidi Unruh
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
