Poem about

Bonnie and Clyde 

went out for a ride 

with the Devil for a guide. 

. 

In a hot V-8 Ford 

they took off with a roar 

machine guns by their sides. 

. 

Bonnie was neat 

and very petite 

and Clyde was a handsome guy. 

. 

They robbed banks and stores, 

and gas stations galore, 

thumbing their noses at 

a world they decried. 

. 

But the law was enraged 

and made plans to engage 

the infamous duo someday. 

. 

And on May twenty-third 

they found a way 

to put an end to Bonnie and Clyde. 

. 

It was as lovers they died 

sitting side by side 

in a bullet-riddled Ford. 

. 

And so then it came true as Bonnie well knew 

that both of them surely would die, 

for that's what she wrote, 

expressing no hope, in the 

Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde.
