Premium Member garbage can bandit
I sit on your garbage can and fiddle with a knob Your back door shakes a bit, I search for a corn cob Smash goes the lid to your aluminum garbage can I am the man, I think now, I am the man! You are in your kitchen, terrified to see that knob Slowly move back and forth; my cousin...

The boxer brownie bandit 2
I fear I've lost the light In this storm of chocolate rain Muddy waters cloud my sight Within this foul smelling haze But I know I'll make things right I'll escape this hell someday And my tights will finally stay white Off this soiled path I'll find my way They say the devils in the details Well I sure hope he...

Bandit
I should have done this years ago, after all this time he would have apologized I felt sure. The séance went well, I had formed a circle of one, just me and my sleepy cat. I simply sat there conjuring up left over images on a far away dirt road. His baseball hat squashed flat at the back of his head, the hole in his neck...

Premium Member Bandits From the Woods Nursery Rhyme
Always together, they played Never alone, lost or afraid, They trudged through the woods And all the surrounding neighborhoods, Piercing the darkness with shiny flames, Their eyes never revealing their names. Always together, they delighted In the games – wonderfully excited, They plodded on through the night Beneath stars and moon so bright Carefully seeking the best garbage cans, With paws that were suitable for hands Always...

Premium Member There Is a Masked Bandit
There is a masked bandit in the produce aisle. This went over the loudspeaker in the grocery store. It was my neighbor Whitey, who wants to hide his smile. He has bad teeth, maybe not even one any more. I use Covid as the excuse, he told me one time when I thought to ask. I told him I would...

Premium Member Smokey and the Bandit
Smokey the Clown ran around, With Bob the Burger Bandit. Bob, the slob, needed a job; But didn't know how to land it. Smokey tried to get him inside, A restaurant on the hill. They hired Bob for the job, Flipping burgers on the grill. It wasn't long when all went wrong, And he was fired on the spot. His belly filled with burgers...

Premium Member Shopping Mall Bandit
How does he choose his victim? The police are baffled. Six cases. Six different women. One old, one extremely young, the others 33, 45, 68 and 84. Most of these guys have a type. This one doesn’t. They are a variety of ethnic groups, different hair color. Different body types, one with tattoos. The shopping mall bandit has struck again. Takes all of...

Premium Member Belle Starr - the Bandit Queen
Belle hung out and consorted with outlaws, So folks shunned her and called her a scoff law; But things aren't as they seem, And though not squeaky clean, 'Twas the men in her life who were outlaws. Sam Starr was a Cherokee man. They married and lived on the land. To friends who were weary, They gave sanctuary, In their home out on Cherokee...

Jungle Justice
Get me a matchstick And the rogue over there quickly pick. Or you fetch me smoker’s lighter, Whose flame is assuredly brighter, Pouring me out some petrol From our jeep long on patrol… Jungle Justice is beginning to itch like lust, Last week’s, a badgering must! The fair-play funded by fire And aided by vindictive tyre: An impatient crowd’s justice, Permitting no armistice: Rather like our dirty...

Time Bandit
Has the future made a profit by selling out your dreams Marking up expectations, closing out self esteem Interest bearing hopes uncashed, wishes in arrears Creditors loom, the past foreclosed —tomorrow paid in tears (Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)...
