Shoplifters

A criminal walking in the street,

Where he chanced upon to meet

An associate of a sad similarity

Both being on a shoplifting spree.

 

They duly conspired together

To share their free endeavour:

They entered through a door

Of a popular high street store.

 

Browsing to see what to steal –

Keeping it inconspicuously real,

As in blending in with the crowd

With their attire not being loud.

 

A rack of shirts rolled into a ball

Put into a jacket – a nice tidy haul:

Off on their way, watching intently

For any of the big shop's authority.

 

On the street it is still not safe

As you have to walk at a pace

As to avoid the shops security –

To remain safe and prison free.
