The Heist

humorous

‘The Great Heist”

 

Nine and nine nights, the thieves had a party

Stealing my Favorite snack and my special soccer trophy

Left me with nothing but a note that said:

“Thanks for the presents, you are the best host instead!”

 

Fear had me in its sway, yet I recover still

Stronger with armor and a shiny starch too

Deeper army like voice, I rehearsed, with my army

Waiting patiently for another festive day

 

Hard punches landing on the door

The owner’s vengeful day arrived

Strongly wielding my chain of armor.

I gathered my soldiers’ battalions, in lizard,

As we marched along, the corridors.

 

Bullet’s stings, grazed upon my shoulder

There arise faint whispers by my side

the bees of chaos, buzzed to my hearing

Darkness glooms surround, I forgot to stay bold

 

Standing up in repose, a standing commando

Words failed me, dumb as a dumbass

Slaps across my face, strongly like a tornado

Oh! My balance fell horribly atlas

 

Still musing, smiling half in cloak of sleep

I was like, “dude keep the polished TV,

Why hurt the poor cheesy tray’?

The thought of my home now lost in deep

Left bleeding, with bruise color

Of sunflower

  Among torn wrappers of Halloween's candy.

 

My heart painfully recalls, my mama’s adage

“Many days are for the thieves,

But arrives a day when the owner leads”.

Oh! How I long to raid their petty heist

 

On these words I patiently wait.

As my home, naked by their hurtful claws

Bared down, left in a shattered state

 

Bare walls standing in hilarious reflection

Naked abruptly, “where did the paintings go”

My soul shattered by comical contraction

Now left with nothing but a broken nose

 

Now I descend from the rooftop,

Killing the fear that was besieged me

Howling in loud chuckles, embracing defeats

my home, a battleground, for thieves to meet

This bites hard!
Insecurity is the worst nightmare of every law abiding citizens
The rhymes were nicely crafted.
I loved your attempt to create an infantry strategy and how you consoled yourself at the end.
That’s the spirit…we must never build a shrine to our problems.

Thieves and scoundrels are everywhere waiting to take advantage. Nice write.

not much worse than having our space (safe haven) invaded and violated. they say that when we're thrown from a horse the best to do is to laugh and get right back on. nicely done.
