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
