Hitting the Easy Target

 

By Elton Camp

 

Scott found a way to make easy extra cash

By some old lady he would make a dash

 

Her purse he would snatch out of her hand

He decided that easy scheme was just grand

 

Her cash and credit cards he’d use on beer

To treat the whole crowd he needn’t fear

 

Finally, because of what he continued to do

Old ladies whom he could rob become few

 

Then he saw a young woman on the street

“I can take her as I’m so fast on my feet.”

 

“For if any danger to a woman comes around,

She’ll always scream, run and then fall down.”

 

But Scott found that one he did underestimate

He was shocked with he received such a fate

 

Even as his purse-snatching crime did begin,

She hit him with her foot right under his chin

 

As his Miranda rights the cops did relate

Women may know karate he learned too late
