To Catch A Thief

The fact which the politician faces is merely that there is less honor among thieves than was supposed, and not the fact that they are thieves. - Thoreau

begin the beguine

smile a stupid grin

squeeze the sin

risk the chance

break the dance

stare the glance

halt the stop

drib the drop

... and so on ...

until you steal what's gone

if you will, capture a mighty king with a lowly pawn

join the army and try to be all that no one will ever let you be

storm the crashing sea

try to get in without the key

i don't care as long as it's you and not me

Author's Note

"What men call social virtues, good fellowship, is commonly but the virtue of pigs in a litter, which lie close together to keep each other warm." - Thoreau
