Pot Gets the Weasels

February 28, 2009

Seventy-year-old Ellen Basinski was in her Ohio home when three teens forced their way in looking for money. She was on the phone with her husband, a judge, and he immediately called 911. Mrs. Basinski grabbed her favorite Emeril saucepan and hit one thief on the head as he was going through her purse. The police arrived, the three teens were arrested and Mrs. Basinski’s saucepan was taken as evidence. During Mrs. Basinski’s interview with Good Morning America, celebrity-chef Emeril Lagasse, famous for shouting BAM! whenever he adds spice to a recipe, said he would give her a new cookware set.

(P.S. If you have a couple of minutes, the interview with Mrs. Basinski is hysterical!)

Limerick A

An Ohio woman had a terrible scare
Three teens entered her home while she was there
They wanted her money
Then the story gets funny
BAM! She clocked one with her Emeril cookware

Limerick B
Ellen Basinski doesn’t get unnerved
Three teen robbers got what they deserved
Money isn’t all they got
She clobbered one with a pot
BAM! That’s what I call justice being served
