Nothing To Speak Of

Thundering downstairs, my sister charged me with theft;
wondering, Dad  questioned  the source of her inquiry.
Blundering like a buffoon, at last I confessed, 
plundering her coffers, I had filched her diary.

Deft hands suddenly snatched  the book in question.
Bereft of my fun, I pulled a downplay, 
“Theft is taking and KEEPing something not yours.”
Left with nothing to speak of, I just stole away.
