Witnesses
It was at a candy store,
and it was suppose to be
an in and out,
but it was not,
the afternoon was hot,
and the child was taken
from an isolated parking lot,
in that, there was no mistaken,
she was a mother of five,
who just took the youngest
for a ride,
and it happened just
as she went inside,
witnesses say that the man
was about five feet five,
and wore a cowboy hat,
others say he was shorter then that,
and it was a baseball cap,
nothing more frustrating
than to listen to the witnesses
take too long,
and get it all wrong,
some say the parking lot was dim,
the man was fat,
while others say he was thin,
some say he had a weird stare,
an odd glare,
dirty brown hair,
with a slight twirl,
others say it was very greasy with a little curl,
it seems as if all the witnesses...
were at the scene,
some say the car he drove
was black, red and others say green,
some say it had a ski rack,
and definitely not black,
some were so sure,
that he drove a two door,
others say four,
witnesses seem to offer
more and more,
but the detectives get
less and less,
when witnesses collide,
you get such a mess.
