William Leonard/Selected Poems

This is a selection of poems by William Leonard.

Responsibility
I was walking, Minding my own business When a camera Came to my feet. He waited for me To pick it up But he knows it is his Not mine.

The Little Robber's Excuse
What do you mean, I stole your money? What do you mean, I stole your purse? Didn't you see your sister take it? If you say more, it's gonna get worse...

What do you mean, I stole your toys? What do you mean, I stole your ball? You're just accusing me, that's it! I wasn't near you, not at all!

Roadtrip
Dad's car was black And I begged to go in it But he just didn't care.

I was in Mom's car And I wanted to bring jelly beans But she just didn't care.

The car set off I didn't like the radio But no-one even cared.

Now I'm in my car Everyone's sorry now But I don't care!
