Klepto

A poem about Kleptomania (clean)

My baby is a Klepto

That much is just a fact

Better keep an Eye on her

Near that sunglass rack

 

Five finger discount sweetheart

ShopKeeper's biggest fear

What happened to that Rolex

I swear it was right here

 

My thieving little lover

You'd think I'd feel disgrace

Let her loose in Target

She's out with half the place

 

Wal Mart's got their cameras

Target's got Private dics

The stuff she gets away with

Man it's just plain sick

 

Jewelry cosmetics clothing

Electronics and  DVD'S

She could steal a rocket ship

From max security

 

Once she got a big screen

walked right out the door

Flirting with security

Distracting with amour

 

Last time she got busted

she put on such a show

the cops were all so smitten

they just let her go

 

Wiggly and giggly

perfect lips and hips

sneaky and conniving

she could swipe a battleship

 

So why is it I love her

what's my big defense

It's all business baby

I'm her private fence

The way you treat controversial, heartbreaking, tragic, wild, and just about anything else is fantastic. You can find humor in things that would ordinarily not even be discussed let alone tackled in a poem. I have gotten so many new perspectives from reading your writing. Sometimes, I feel as if you are making us laugh so we don't cry with or for you. I mean all this as a big compliment...hope you take it as intended. Sometimes, I am not very good at writing reviews and this feels like one of them. What am I trying to say? That I appreciate your wit, candor, mind, and perspective. Even though i may not always agree with some of the things, I think you do a wonderful job of shaking things up and are doing it with well written and clever work.

LOL! THanx. If you agreed with everything I put into some of these poems I'd be seriously worried about you. THere's an old song with a line that goes "You have to be crazy to stay in this place you just have to laugh at it all." I love that line. Great review. Thanx

I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes from
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Chapter 7
(In a discussion with the Cheshire Cat)

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I just love that!

I saw a thing on TV about pro shoplifting. It came out of that

[Patricia B. Hepler]

Ok, so I was thinking, while reading the first verse, that you were referring to a little baby (mine were Kleptos, too!)...then I realized I was in this cool poem & having a great time! Enjoyed-especially the last verse ;)

Thanx

I actually was married to this woman for a time. Your rhyming is superb and the whle thing flows naturally. I enjoy reading your work.

Very interesting lol. The rhyme scheme is really good and it is overall witty. Where you get such ideas I'll never know! loln
