Power Lines Don't Make Good Clothes Lines


Some people say she was crazy, they think that she was out of her mind.
She paid the price when she decided to use a power line for a clothes line.
She thought that the electric current would dry the clothes faster.
She didn't know that she was heading for disaster.
She was too cheap to make a clothes line or to buy a new clothes dryer.
She wouldn't have done what she did if she had known it would fry her.
She fell off the ladder when she was shocked by the electricity.
She thought she was being smart but ended up being extra crispy.
