An Advising Senior

A thief was advising another,
Are you going to steal,
Please do not,
It is very bad,
you are still a lad,
if you,instead, worked hard,
you would be more glad,
lad was all ears,
he had still years,
he said let it be so,
I will try my luck tomorrow,
today let it all go,
when tomorrow came,
and the young lad was doing his rounds,
he saw police patrol,
and some caught hands,
his senior was sitting right there,
waiting for his prison stand.
