Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Just Asking

I'd embezzled a bunch of cash

From my company, they found out.

Cops coming, so I acted rash,

Climbed on a window ledge, no doubt

A jump ten stories down would end

My facing up to what I'd done.

But I did it for my girlfriend,

A lovely but expensive one.

So I did bad for good excuse,

So the blame is really on her.

Money I stole was for good use.

So my bad did some good for sure.

"My bad ... but it?" I yelled loud.

"It is, so jump," yelled back the crowd.
