When I Opened The Door (List) Poem by Gert Strydom

When I Opened The Door (List)



When I opened the door
I found:

four police cars (with flashing lights)
one police car (of which the siren was screaming)
nine policemen (at the garden gate) ,
ten of the neighbours (that were watching) ,
two dogs (that were roaring protecting)
three lightning bolts (that followed shortly after each other)
some rain pouring down (that was wetting everything)
one policeman (that was shouting)

and the reason for all of this:
you had laid a false charge.
