         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
