"THE PERFECT HEIST"
I had it planned perfectly I really thought I did.
Until the day me and my buddy ran into that lousy kid.
All those homes just waiting for us to take our share
man, I tell you sometimes life just isn’t fair.
How was I to know what that kid would do
he sure made fools of Harold and I, it’s true
We were doing out thing stealing loot playing the game
then along came that lousy kid and nothing was the same,
I figured we had to shut him up you see
before he squealed on Harold and me.
I decided his house was the next we’d hit.
I’d of runaway if I'd known what waited inside it.
I tell you that kid’s not normal beats all I've ever seen
that kid, he is downright mean.
He burned us he cut us wouldn’t listen to a thing we said
why he even took all the hair off the top of my head.
I tell you that kid is out of his mind
he is the one who should be doing time.
And when we felt like we’d been hit by a bus
that stinking kid threw a freaking big spider at us.
Now I can handle things like that but Harold can’t
I swear the poor guy wet his pants.
And just when I had him by his scrawny neck
here comes the neighbor our plans to wreck.
They called the cops they came and took us out
then I found out what Harold had been about.
He left the water on every place we hit
though I told him many times to stop doing it.
Now the fuzz has a record of every place we robbed
I tell you if I was a lesser man I’d break down and sob.
When I get out I know one thing for sure
I’m not hanging around this town anymore.

I started writing poems then I switched to songs. I did not think we were well received on here then. Now they seem to be so I am glad to return. I love this having a safe place to express yourself is so important.

THIS POEM MAKES ME THINK OF THE MOVIE SERIES "HOME ALONE", DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU THINK OF THIS SERIES OF MOVIES TOO?
