The Suit

Once I saw a man in a suit knocked down by a car
He went rolling along the road,
one shoe went off in another direction.
He rolled into a sitting position,
he had a small package in his hand.
He raised it to his ear and shook it.
Then he said fuckit
and fell over and didn’t move any more.
So sue me,
 I laughed.

thanks guys

yeah, this really happened and, I am a bit ashamed to say now, I really laughed. I was a spiky top punk at the time and the sight of this materialist suit checking his property before he collapsed really cracked me up

descriptive

in just a short bit you added incredible detail to this. You start out as a dispassionate observer, and conclude with something twisted, and funny. Was this from a real life experience?
