Count Her Fib Money--Don't let this happen to you!

COUNTERFEIT MONEY---CIRCULATING THE DC AREA
DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU I SAY....

Tonight I engaged two young U street urbanites in a tour of the lovely Lincoln Theater and  Ben's Chili Bowl. Thanking me with soulful "OOOOs", "AAAAs", and "dayam girl you strong like Her Cule Lease"...they paid me with a hundred dollar bill which included a chunky tip to my surprise.  I gave these generous lads sixty dollars in change and deservedly decided to indulge my thirsty turtles in a delightful drink at 'Wonderland" with some living socialites.

 As I paid for my drink with my new crisp hundred dollar bill, I scanned the bar for attractive lads that I would perhaps converse with about donkeys and elephants that roam our politically charged zoo of a city. Unexpectedly,  I was jolted aside by the bartender who angrily demanded for my arrest....

"This Bill is fake. You take me for a fool?", he shouted. He squinted his eyes and called for security, "Get this girl out of my bar!"

Defensively, I pulled away like the sly swift flying squirrel that I am and quickly retreated into my shotogun Bruce Lee horse stance I learned from my dad in Karate. Putting away my "WHY-I-OUGHTTA" knuckle sand which fists, I quickly calmed down and was overcome with a sense of self righteous punk rock Patrick Henry... "DUDE!!!! I demand you let me go at once!!!!Give me liberty or give me DEATH!"  I said.

 Suddenly, the bartender transformed into the Queen of Hearts...

ALAS

In Wonderland, I stood stooped n stumped
while the beats of my heart skipped, startled and jumped
On the Grill, heated,
this bill had me cheated
the counterfeit fibbed me
I didn't site see it!

cuffed slung n criminally treated
cops would have me arrested and seated
 in the back of a police car,...
instead of my pedicab

NOW...what would my mother say?

 OFF WITH HER HEAD
 he said!
and i Wish it a dream
so I'd roll out of bed

But it wasn't quite that my Destination DC BLOG FRIENDS!!! This really happened.

I explained how I had been paid in this new crispity crunchity bill. I had no idea it was counterfeit. For foolish, fib infested,  counterfeit  MONEY which is circling the DC area like the Bubonic Plague---an epidemic of the past, let this be a lesson from the sly swift flying squirrel...
