In youth, his hair was Fire Engine Red. <br />A bully teased..'''Ha! Thar's Tomato Head! '' <br />Ego rot spurred psychotic tendencies. <br />Secretly, ogling girls in their panties. <br /> <br />This Peeping Tom...A Lunatic indeed! <br />In later life lurking in waste high weeds. <br />To sneak a peek at women, unaware. <br />Then, daringly thru their window, he'd stare. <br /> <br />Past a tower, near an evergreen hedge, <br />He climbed a ladder to a window ledge. <br />Thru open glass, he gazed, hitting''Pay Dirt! '' <br />Eyeing a lady, nude and unalert. <br /> <br />Arms toppled on legs, she lay on the floor. <br />'''A pervert like me, couldn't ask for more! ''' <br />Her nudity caused his pulse rate to soar. <br />Balanced high up...on Rung # 44. <br /> <br />Downward he fell...(thump!) ...hitting the ground. <br />Up-righted by cops, just standing around. <br />'''Oh, how clumsy of me! ...I'll be OK. <br />Thank you, Gents! Now, I'm on my way! ''' <br /> <br />'''Not so fast! ''' said a voice, cool and calm. <br />'''You could be a thief or a...Peeping Tom! <br />In jail, you'll sit, till I investigate, <br />Why you were up on that ladder, so late.''' <br /> <br />The drunken fair lady, who exposed all, <br />Sobered up and with haughty recall <br />Said...'''YES! That's him, I really must admit, <br />The murder of Stud Lee, he did commit.''' <br /> <br />Her Lover's body, he hadn't observed, <br />While lustfully eyeing her naked curves. <br />Wrongly found guilty! Oh, my! What a shame! <br />Now, he sadly regrets his 'Hide & Peek' games. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Moral? ..... In early life, ignore all bullies!<br /><br />Deanna More<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-downfall-of-a-peeping-tom-ouch/
