This is a poem about Bonnie and Clyde, <br />they had places to run too, but nowhere too hide, <br />both came from a poor and needy past, <br />the life that they chose, just couldn't last, <br />for a few short years they lived on that ride, <br />got caught in an ambush and both of them died, <br />this is how it all started, just how it began, <br />all of the details down to the last man, <br />Bonnie was married when she was sixteen, <br />to an immature man, she should never have seen, <br />just married a year when he landed behind bars, <br />Bonnie then worked in cafes, never going too far, <br />she loved to dress up, and it kept her broke <br />her passion for red dresses, became a family joke <br />then along came Clyde with his big dreams, <br />on the wrong side of the law, no more bacon and beans, <br />they formed up a gang, that killed, robbed and stole, <br />all over the southwest, and banks was their goal, <br />one night while parked, two cops stopped to give aid, <br />both of them were shot and died where they laid, <br />from that moment on they were on the run, <br />they lived and they died by the law of the gun, <br />Clyde stole autos, then changed the plate, <br />so the cops wouldn't find them until it was too late, <br />with their two thugs, Hamilton and Fultz, they went on a spree, <br />their robbing, killing and running, they done so with glee, <br />then one afternoon at a fair dance, they stopped for a rest, <br />a off duty cop spotted one of the thugs who thought it best, <br />to take off on a run, while Bonnie and Clyde drove away quick, <br />left their pal behind and thought they were slick, <br />then on May 23.1934, it all came to an end, <br />while caught in an ambush set up by a friend, <br />Clyde and Bonnie were both killed in the mess, <br />and pretty young Bonnie, was wearing a bright red dress. <br /> <br />written by Harry Bryant <br />10/14/04 11: 45: 30 AM © <br />all rights reserved<br /><br />Harry Bryant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bonnie-and-clyde/
