Dirty Denny

Dirty Denny
By Madeleine Begun Kane

With character not worth a penny.
He failed to shield teens
From a boy-obsessed fiend.
Family values? He doesn’t have any.

    GW gazes around
    uncertain which lie to expound
    he looks a bit tense
    perhaps his defense
    should be lack of high moral ground
