Desperado IV
Unhappy with the porridge,
angry at my lot,
I wrote the judge a letter.
This is what he got.
'Your Honour, I beseech thee,
I've done a fair old time,
With the help of your correction,
I think my writing's fine.
How can I proper thank you?
For the wisdom you have shown,
Your timely intervention,
has made my writing grow.'
Then I got his letter,
Opened it with dread,
Gazed upon its content,
Could not believe 'I read...'
'Impressed with your endeavours,'
'I release you from your cell,'
'Call in at my print shop'
'We'll publish you as well.'

Excellent stuff Michael!
(Should you wish to link all 4 electronically as a series (and maybe you don’t), you can do so easily using the bottom box when you write or edit your drabble(s). The box is entitled ‘Series (optional)’ and all you do is type in the series title e.g. Desperado, followed by a space and then #1 (2,3,4 etc). Then the series name and number pops up as a subhead before the drabble and after the main heading. I only say this as it took me a while to realise. It makes life easier if you’re doing a long series, such as a novel of many thousands of words. Just a thought.)
