Stuck in a chimney
high above ground
A burglar called out
He couldn't go up nor down.

He'd stolen some money
and pilfered some clothes.
then, by way of egress,
up the chimney he rose.

But that move only works
with a suit of red Clothes
on one night a year
if you finger your nose.

He got stuck half way up
and he couldn't get down.
The fire Department
had to rescue this clown.

He'd broken in through a window
and jumped down to the floor
If only he'd thought
to go out the side door.

He was covered in soot
from his cap to his feet.
He's our Darwin Award
winner for this week!

I heard him exclaim
as they booked him that night
I sure am a dumb-***
( That at least he got right)
A burglar in Atlanta found himself in an unusual predicament
