the chosen golden goose
drops a leadfilled clunker
the corrupt spin off tension
parachute to offshore digs
to nests of loopholes
free from extradition
doesn't take big intellect
to know riches dwindle
when that special goose
is steamed and rudely plucked
Fractal created in Fractal Explorer.
Thanks, ThomG at Surface Tension for the Three Word Wednesday prompt: corrupt, tension, intellect.

nice nice nice... makes me think about all the brilliant criminal defenses are won on seemingly non existent loop holes....
wonder if a country can win in much the same way........
Oh, quite clever imagery on this one. Kudos.
Interesting words and fractal, nice ending.

As always, words wonderfully used; and the picture portrayed, can be interpreted in many ways.
I enjoyed this one. The imagery was great, I feel like I took a journey and then was suddenly "plucked." :)
Dear Sue,
