Chuck's View
by Measer

Hi! I'm Chuck Fishman.
My friend gets the newspaper,
But it's not today's.

Looking at his life.
Many events have happened.
I will share with you.

His wife threw him out.
On their anniversary.
Don't even know why.

He then quit his job.
He disliked his suit and tie.
Hates stock brokering.

I think it's a dump,
But he likes his hotel room.
He thinks it's cozy.

You could buy a house.
Somewhere nice, instead of this,
Maybe in the 'burbs.

We could make millions.
He doesn't want to do it.
He just helps people.

Many adventures.
Because of this newspaper.
I'll tell you some.

Throwing my money,
He stopped a bank robbery.
I was not happy.

A lady has twins,
Stuck in an elevator.
I panic, then faint.

Meredith Carson,
She knows about the paper,
We stole it one day.

Made 15 million.
Almost got thrown into jail.
That was a mistake.

Pritchard is a jerk.
Tried to marry Marcia.
Left at the alter.

He flushed my Sparky,
Was my beloved goldfish.
Burial at sea...

I was arrested.
Set up by J.T. Marley.
Pawns in a sick game.

His hotel room burned .
He spent the night at my place,
Then he helped orphans.

Despite the danger.
He helps a lot of people.
Sometimes I worry...

He is my best friend.
I have met no one like him.
Unique in the world.

Tomorrow's paper,
Many possibilities,
To make a fortune!

The End.
