Thursday Thoughts - The Evolution of Pranks

The Quip Prank Flow

A TPed house,

Or good ding and dash,

Once brought giggles

To innocent lips -

A released mouse,

Or eggcellent bash,

Induced wiggles

In fingertips.

Now pretty things -

Pink flamingos

Or yarn wrapped trees -

are the cool 'rips'.

Now prankster rings

Invent fierce foes,

For celebrities -

Give SWAT Teams tips.

What will come next?

Ghost pranks by text?

Cars with new specs?

Furniture flips?

I miss the past.

This too won't last.

Change happens fast.

Let's hope for quips.

 Tom Cruise and Chris Brown both got swatted recently -

a new childish prank that wastes government money.
