Under the Bus

The agents uncovered a scheme
When things not quite normal did seem
For when baggage came out 
There could be not a doubt
That a suitcase moved - was it a dream?

So they opened the bag and surprise!
What they found there in front of their eyes
Were computers and jewels 
Stolen using no tools
By the man in the case, they surmise.

For two crooks conjured up a good plan.
In a suitcase, well-hidden, one man
Would unzip as the bus
Moved along; with no fuss,
From the baggage some goodies he'd pan.

Though it's fitting the robbers got caught,
For bad deeds should be punished, we're taught,
I admire their guff
Though it wasn't enough 
To allow them the riches they'd sought.
