Burglar

sandie on Aug 31, 2009

Usually men who go out robbing houses late at night.

I am a burglar out on the prowl by night

Targeting houses that are easy to get into

Around here there are but a few

With my small torch to give me some light.

Size doesn’t really matter

Looking for any open windows or catches that are broke

I am a skinny but a very fit young bloke

I am looking for a ladder.

Years ago we would have carried a black sack

But now we hide things in bushes in the local park

To blend in to the dark

Dressed all in black.

I can’t help it if I am wise

When it’s all died down with no evidence to be found

Now there’s no more cops sniffing around

I will sneak back and grab my gear in disguise.

I wanted to say that you are too honest sounding a person.

Anymore, it is the cameras that will get you, not the sniffing cops.
