I caught the art thief -
he was a mastermind really
for he got such precious paintings
out of the Louvre easily
The amazing thing was
I caught him just minutes
from the museum;
his Econoline van
- would you believe it? – ran out of fuel
Sure I asked him how
he could make such a mistake
steal so much treasure
and run out of gas just meters away
And he sighed with a Picasso face:
*"Oh **** Monsieur!
I’d no Monet
to buy Degas to make
the Van Gogh…”*
