The Tangerine and the Poster

Mom: Excuse me! Have you seen my little Tangerine? Oh my poor boy! He has never left his basket before. Oh my!

Officer: Madam! Please calm down. When was the last time you have seen him?

Mom: Yesterday! Sir, he has never left home before. I am scared, please find him! Really!

Officer: O.k. Well can you please describe what he looks like?

Mom: Yes! Yes! He is a young boy. Probably a couple of weeks old. He is smaller than most boys. He has orange tinted skin. Short brown hair, kind of more fuzzy than hair. If he actually has any hair...

Officer: ...Thank you. That is enough. Does this character sketch I just drew up look like Tangerine?

Mom: O my gosh! Yes it does thank you.

Officer: Your welcome. We will hang it around the city as soon as possible and we will find your little boy!

It hangs
A character sketch
A poster of a Tangerine.
Small, orange and dangerous,
out on the loose.
A wanted fruit.

--------

"Lock your doors!"
They scream.
A dangerous felon on the run.
A criminal to society
Killing many
a deadly fruit.
The poster of a Tangerine.
