"Such a place for a thief!"
The patrolman cried. 
"Just the place for a crook!"
The Thief replied;
"What a schnook!
So easily you were duped!
Indeed you are stuped! 
Considering the time that you took!"

"Just  the place for a thief! 
I've now said it twice.
Indeed you are sly! 
Considering each day
That I passed you by! 
Why I did not notice you more than I would have a fly!" 
"You are no match! But I've made a mistake!
For I would be free
If that gate would unlatch!" 
"Such a place for a crook!"
A deep breath he took. 
"For one would be wise
If he knew where to look! 
"I will be blunt, this is all in good fun!
For when the cat is away the mice will run!"
"Fun! Began the hunt
When you pulled such a stunt!"
"Yes, yes. I saw and I sprung. I started to run! 
But perish the thought
For soon I to will be hung!"
