The Candy Thief

Now Bobby, don't try to look coy. You mischievous naughty young boy! You've guzzled my sweets From 'tricking or treats' I've seen through your devious ploy. Oh Bobby, say have you no pride? You've acted so sneaky and snide. Your ankle-length socks, You sneaky young fox Are stuffed with marshmallows inside! Don't flutter those big bambi eyes Or fabricate more porky pies. You're caught in a fix Hand over my Twix I'm bigger than you, so be wise! 20.10.19 If I Were Your Brother Poetry Contest : sponsored by Bobby May
