I Found This Thief

He absconded from my thatched-roof hut
into the thin air he disappeared hurt 
Found him in the kitchen and watched him cook 
Alas! What a confident crook! 
I forced him prepare food for the entire family 
to make him pay for his behavior so silly 
He hesitated for a while until I unleashed a stroke 
Painfully in his back side till my stick broke 
He had drunk the only milk left 
And stole the money in the room where I slept 
But the day of reckoning has just arrived 
I tortured him, should thank heaven he survived
