Hitting the Easy Target
Hitting the Easy Target
By Elton Camp
Scott found a way to make easy extra cash
By some old lady he would make a dash
Her purse he would snatch out of her hand
He decided that easy scheme was just grand
Her cash and credit cards he’d use on beer
To treat the whole crowd he needn’t fear
Finally, because of what he continued to do
Old ladies whom he could rob become few
Then he saw a young woman on the street
“I can take her as I’m so fast on my feet.”
“For if any danger to a woman comes around,
She’ll always scream, run and then fall down.”
But Scott found that one he did underestimate
He was shocked with he received such a fate
Even as his purse-snatching crime did begin,
She hit him with her foot right under his chin
As his Miranda rights the cops did relate
Women may know karate he learned too late
