Crime and Punishment

Take a stroll, Take a bike-ride Take a cruise, Take a journey to the stars When you take a trip for yourself You can do it at your leisure You can even stop to smell the roses Partake of nature's little pleasures Take a bus to the store Take the train to work Take Uber to the airport Catch a red-eye flight to Gnome When you take things 'cos you have to You feel anything but sublime You're pressed for time Can't pause for rhyme It truly is a crime May 01 2019

Thank you for your viewpoint here, Line...Just hope I myself haven't committed a crime by filching the title from Dostoevsky. ~ Awaiting indictment in Chicago (gw)
