Being broke lead to a stroke.

I had a stroke

Because I became broke

I thought it was a joke

So, I just croak

I know then it was no hope

I manage to be a pope.

    Confused by your words, I would think your became broke because of a stroke, and your hope would be that you have had a 2nd chance. Like I stopped being dope.
    The pope part has me confused.
    I like the rhyming and how a stroke vs. broke is compared.

    I was a bit confused by this one. Perhaps you were trying to tell us that a stoke is a terrible thing that causes hardship and confusion.

    nice rhyme, but it would be much better if you choose on the last line “a cloak is just a big hoax”

  • Sweety on Jan 4, 2010

    Funny with some confusions on the pope aspect. Anyway, nicely rhyming words.
