What This Country Needs is a Better Class of Criminals

 

I was frustrated that the lawn mower wouldn’t start

And checked the battery - that wasn’t there

A dull thief in darkness practicing his art

Had spirited it away – that wasn’t fair!

 

But the poor stupid burglar had no profit that night

He stumbled on the porch and dropped his loot

Cracking the battery, so he fled in fright:

It’s just too bad he didn’t fall on his snoot

 

(Sigh)

 

Aspiring young criminals, roll up your sleeves -

What this country needs are intelligent thieves
