The raccoon is a burglar … 
There’s no door he can’t unlatch.

Baby hand-prints in the butter?
You can bet Raccoon’s found that!...

One night he definitely crossed the line, 
tip toeing 'round thinking everything was fine,
dog suddenly aware,
caught burglar by tail,
taking a big juicy bite out of crime....

Alarms and dogs asunder
Burglar guards and electronic thunder
Rising crime and hurtful glances
Wary of taking even careful chances.
What are we afraid of?
Better to try and cage a mirror
For we
Are the evil....

She was a burglar
With the lightest touch
She stole bits and pieces
Until all that was left
Were the bones of a dreamer
And the lips of a fool
Lips… that call out
For a beautiful thief
That will never return...

I know of a parrot called Lewis
Whose impressions went right just through us
      With his amazing charm
      Like a burglar alarm
When he did, he'd always confuse us

Bubbling up the tendrils of the inflamable cups

Filled to the brim with the dense brown odour

Of the maddeningly reddening valentine tulips

Surrender your sonnet to the unbending burglar

Dirtiest of men in the cosmos 
Is not that hater of cleaning fluids
Ring-leader of genocide he is not
Tiger-leader of a nation he is not
Irritating witch in society he is not
Earnestly rich burglar he is not but
Smack traitor of societal virtues
The corrupter of the young is dirtiest...

Unarmed


If you keep a man unarmed
He will be pretty unharmed!
Precautions or measures
Work but increase seizures.
When mankind was unwrapped
Humankind was not raped;
When nudity filled the kingdom
There was no peeping Tom!
Should you lock an empty box
Inside, find some burglar fox!

Here lies a man who criticized
His wife’s baking of apple pies.
A burglar shot him
In a battle grim
It was truly a swift demise 

Clues are sadly missing
But his wife is kissing
New guy in town
With hair of brown
No I am not dissing.

There came a stranger, one dark night,
With no one to talk to, no kith or kin.
He was strong and wiry,
Tall and burly,
But still a limp in every step.
'He must be a burglar', said old Tom by the bar,
He was the talk of the village for quite a while.
But who knew of the timid soul that lay beneath his hide,
With a broken leg and a broken heart....

Burglar breaks into wrong house
One angry home owner he did rouse
Tough Grandma throws a trash can;
wildly swings a frying pan
He scurries away like a mouse

When someone steals your heart
     And whisks it right away
You never see it coming,
     It’s just another day

When love is unexpected
   And you’re taken by surprise
Swept up by a dancing burglar
     Your heart willingly complies   

It’s when you’re just not looking
     That you may find your love
When one charming intruder
     Dances in from up above...

I put a bug on you!
it was a lady?
it was a vampire?
it was a boogar?

No, it was a bug!
A mugger?
A burglar?

NO! A BUG!
Why is it .. red?
Is it dead?
It crawled with six legs - -
to my head! ..

right to the crook
of my arm,
Will it cause harm?

Honest!, that bug (CRUNCH!)
that bit you,
My friend!
is a bloodsucker out for lunch
That's it!
That's ALL!...

Said the rattlesnake to the spider
I've seen you before
The prey smiled
you've been here a while
Conscience clear
nothing to is to feared he surmised

Said the smiling gateman
I've seen these times before
Cat Burglar agreed
I've been here before

Said the late Man
as he took the key
I'm in now
The Janitor  asked 
what took your time
Never lost, but doubt
you take it away...

An odd noise
burglar?
raccoons?
opossum?
murderers?
home intruders?
My imagination is afoot,
and it is conjuring up some interesting scenarios.

A second sound.
also unknown.
on the porch?
in the garage?
in the bedroom closet?
are they coming to get me?
will this be the end?
are they brutal?
are they mean?
are they monsters?

I am deathly quiet now
waiting for them to get me....

When is a burglar
Not a burglar
That is when he is
Dwelling in the House
       Of the Lord
And when is a sinner
Not a sinner
When he is sinning'
For the grace of GOD
What doth a
Gossiper be if he is
Spreading the word
Of God
But,
A source of discomfort
For thy own enemy
And
A conduit for us all
During the
Post coming resurrection
Of the first coming
Of the Prince of Kings'

Burglar-exploits of Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin-Laden 
Saintly-looking, yet, by Satanic powers crime-ridden 
Terror-tied, adventured into frightening the nations
From Los Angels ignited their hellion-operations
triumphed razing the tip of the World Trade Center 
Could they, yet, into the united household, forever enter...?
