Tit For Tat

An old man walked into town at noon,
And met a fat-looking dangerous goon.

“Give me all your money”, the goon said, brisk,
“Or else your life’s at a very high risk".

The old man put on a very frightened look,
Took out his wallet, and gave it to the crook.

The thug then exclaimed, “I took you in for fun",
"I hadn’t any bullets - empty was my gun".

To that, the man said, "Yours isn’t any worse."
Mabye you should take a look inside my purse".
