Day Eighty-six

Today's words:

Meadow

Bribe

Hospital

Teacher

Computer

Verb

I waited in the meadow

While you paid a bribe

To the doctor at the hospital.

You wanted him to tell the teacher

She had to stay so she couldn't give the computer

Science final, but he had another verb

In mind, a verb 

That would chase me down in the meadow.

Who cares about a stupid computer

Test enough to try to bribe

A doctor to lie to a teacher

In the hospital

Where he works? To lie in a hospital?

I guess that verb

Fits as well as any, and the teacher

Isn't any the wiser. Meanwhile, in the meadow

I'm worrying about your bribe.

Somehow the computer

Is sure to catch on. The computer

Will know what's going on at the hospital.

It won't accept a bribe.

That's one verb

Not in its vocabulary. So I stay in the meadow

And wait for the teacher.

Why am I waiting for the teacher?

Will the computer

Sound the alarm? Coming straight to the meadow

From the hospital,

Alerted by the verb

To bribe.

To bribe

A teacher

Is wrong, that verb

Doesn't work there. The computer

Alerted the hospital

To what was up, so they've come to the meadow.

You can't bribe a computer

To keep the teacher in the hospital.

That's not the right verb in this meadow.
