There it was, eye catching,
In this morning’s newspaper.
The police report noted that
A woman called to say she
Lost the key to her handcuffs.
She was wearing them it seems.
This is the naked truth, I am not
Inventing this. The officer’s
Key could not free her from her
Bondage. It was reported, just
So, black and white, no blush,
No resolution. Everything is
Left to the imagination.
