Rip-offs

by joseph santacruz   Jul 13, 2012


I once knew a scandolous pirate,I guess a thief of sorts
If she could catch a frog she would try and steal his warts.
" The lord helps those that help themselves" of stealing nothing made her gladder
If she ran across a fireman she would try to steal his ladder.
She ripped off my cellphone and my sunglasses
as she stole the smile from my face she was eyeing my eyelashes.
When a chef cooked her meals she was eyeing his cookpots
and if she ran into a loepard she would try and steal his spots.
I introduced her to my friends as a gesture of affection
but the minute my back was turned she tried to rip off my conections.
She would rip off your newspaper and "borrow" your car
and I know if it was possible she would steal the moon and stars.
One day I was roasting a chicken, she thought no one was looking
she had to steal a piece or two before it finished cooking.
When she milked a cow she would try and steal its leather
and if she could catch a bird she would try and steal its feathers.
If she gave you something it was really just a lend
because she couldnt wait to steal it back again.
Next she robbed a cowboy for his saddle and his spurs
you would think she would no better than to touch what isnt yours.
She didnt really need things, of gizmos and gadgets she had enough.
it was just that she was addicted to taking others stuff.
This robber really got me ill intentions from the start
the day I let her in was the day she stole my heart.
Its really not fault and I should have known better
she stole my pen and notebook or I would write her a nasty goodbye letter.
