"cutpurse" poems
You'd better run boys,the fires will come boys and burn you out,girls who would flaunt regulations to haunt you will burn along with you,the night's turning blue and the fire's burning black. Jack who was Tom's mate unaware of his own fate booked a passage to Paris with Maryss, his wife. It was Hogarth who painted the ****** and the tainted in the liberty of gardens,men hiding their hard ons,paragons of chastity and chasing the mollies to ****** their follies,how jolly it seemed to the Queen of the boardwalks who listened to wild talks and ate turkey and ham, Shakespeare was saddened,Marlowe quite maddened by the fayre and the stew houses where blouses were shed and doxies were led like little lambs to the slaughter,and the daughters of Satan who were dressed in fine satin,sat in the background watching this fairground. Then the curse of the cutpurse was cast all about them,men scurried away quickly to the ferries for Putney and Pepys wrote in his diary, 'hahaha the fire didn't get me'

As they liked it. (sorry Bill but you was asking for it)
Nobody should believe you You’re a world class liar. You’re going to burn your **** ‘Cause your pants are on fire! You’ve always been a liar Even back in your youth. The only thing you fear is Having to tell the truth. If you shake hands with him Count your fingers right quick Be sure you still have them all. Never trust his sneaky tricks. He can stand right in front of you And baldfacedly he can lie While smiling like and angel And looking you in the eye. Olly, olly, oxen hook This guy is a nasty crook. Keep track of all he took Then sentence him, by the book. Heckley, Jekylly, criminal He prefers to be subliminal. But mostly he’s a bad motor scooter A cutpurse and a poorhouse looter. He would rob widows and orphans And claim he was aiding charity As if he is the only person who Sees the world with clarity. He calls it redistribution work Of the world’s hard-earned wealth. But he is fooling nobody, really, Or he wouldn’t need to use stealth. And when he runs for office, he Can refine his art of playing ***** By hiding behind closed doors And stealing from us covertly. He will join the political machine That is already firmly in place And work in his mirror every day To hone that public smiling face. Olly, olly, oxen hook This guy is a nasty crook. Keep track of all he took Then sentence him, by the book. Heckley, Jekylly, criminal He prefers to be subliminal. But mostly he’s a bad motor scooter A cutpurse and a poorhouse looter.

ROGER REPUGNATANT
You are the most talented cutpurse I know For before I even knew it My thoughts and heart belonged to you But what makes you the best thief of all Is that they were given so willingly I barely recall a time when they were mine To complete your rapscallion’s repertoire Whatever locks once grasped upon my heart You picked with ease and without a second thought It’s contents laid bare to you But a Robin Hood you are You returned what you found to me So we may share
