My neighbor, who has sticky fingers,
lifts merchandise fast, never lingers.
Inside her big jacket
each item, she'll pack it--
fine necklaces, rings, even Zingers!
Her P O saw her steal his money.
He said to her, “Girl, this ain’t funny.”
There ensued a clamor.
She’s back in the slammer.
Her Mom said, “I’ll visit ya, Honey!”
Zingers--snack cakes
P O--parole officer
