The Energizer Bunny's Plight

WHEW I am exhausted! I cannot catch up,
my life would be funny if it was not mine!
Murphy's laws rule my world, and I hate it so,
I'd run him over if could do so and not get a fine!

You see, I'm quite famous, my name you will know,
On TV's 'cross the country, in homes one and all.
I beat on a drum as I scroll 'cross the screen,
I'm known never to stop or slow down to a crawl.

I met with this man, a lawyer, he said.
Offered a deal, just as sweet as can be.
The deal was created with him and the Godfather,
I didn't really understand it, as you will soon see.

It all started when my contract came due to renew
My birth certificate, 'twas request to show
They said "Expired" I could not believe it
That it could run out was something I didn't know!

I thought all was fixed, this new lawyer said so
Then he said to 'go rest', gave me a small pill
I took it to soothe me, I swallowed it down
A few minutes later, I felt woozy and ill

I laid in my bed, but things got sort of funny
I started to wonder what meds he'd been dealing
For there above me a glorious bed of stars
But where in the world is my very own ceiling?

I took quite a trip that night, so it seems,
To my mind I stayed right there in that bed;
But a realization has now come to me,
Wondering what I've done leaves me full of dread.

So I try to recall, though naught comes to mind,
for the next thing I knew, I was here in this cell.
A ruckus surrounding me and my deeds,
"Battery" charged, a shocking death knell.

Said I'd signed a confession, as neat as can be
and lo and behold, there it all was
I could not dispute what was before my own eyes
My own signature, laid down by my paws

It seems that my new lawyer with contract speeches
Had finagled much more in that session we had
Now I am done for, I cannot get them to believe
That I did not do this thing with my Ni-Cad

Author notes

For those not in the know, a Ni-Cad (Nickel-Cadium)is a form of rechargeable battery.

I used all suggested ideas for this:
Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

What do you mean, my birth certificate expired?

What do you get when you cross the Godfather with a lawyer?
An offer you can't understand.

In a list

Please tell me what you think
