A pickpocket named Dodger
lived to become an old codger,
alas a walking stick and heaps of pain
his getaway speed sadly on the wane.

no way you can getaway
its a test 
god will do the rest
no matter what you do
rememeber this too
you must have a strong fist
do do all this
cause 
LIFES A RISK...

I need an escape
to the Exuma Cays
so I can navigate the tropical seas
and leave my footprints behind
on the unspoilt sand bars
in the glorious sun !

in my head thrives a world of fantasy
under a moon within the next galaxy
where I live amidst trees and rocks and sea

Away we get.
Even the stars, cities yond
Smile the brighter !

Love is freed up.
Nor for intenseness, what's eyed
Then of lover!...

Most important question and this may sound bizarre
Who'll wear the mask and who'll drive the getaway car
Did I just shout?
If the fuzz are about
Joking was I, there's a bunch more in my resevoir...

In a market outdoors one day, Pam
was caught pilfering using a pram.
Fast away that lass flew
on the back of a ewe.
One might say she was then "on the lamb!"

On a lake, I confide
with the moon of day's routine---
garbage, work, cleaning;
that my heart forgets to strut
lightly on calm grounds.

The sleigh is empty
The list is ticked
It’s back to base
Double quick

Mrs. Claus is waiting
To greet me
Fidgeting around
Quite excitedly

The bags are packed
And in the sleigh
We’re off to Florida
For a holiday...

Seems Florida men never learn
His getaway? A zero-turn
His Deere, not so fast
His lead didn’t last
Now grass is not his main concern

This is the time psyche,
your gratis getaway into silence;
away from folks, away from
carriers of culture,
the day is spent, the lessons learned,
now you fully reflect on themes you love best:
nighttime, slumber and dreams....

If you're looking for a UNIQUE getaway, now don't laugh
In Nairobi, Kenya, there's a hotel where you can feed giraffes
Through your second floor window
No, I'm not some kind of weirdo
These gentle giants wait to be fed and pose for photographs...

Tan skin and smile lines.
Breakfast diners and strong coffee.
Soft breeze and salt-encrusted waves.
Lowered windows and strange songs.
Dripping ice cream and picnic tables.
Inside jokes and evening storms.
Good books and toes in sand.
All these things go hand in hand....

Authorities hold their grim faces to the floor,
Making arrangements for their crimes to be no more,
Resting and planning while in their cell,
Deep in their clever minds rings a bell,
And so starts the construction of their getaway,
Dreams of evil crimes to rein yet another day...

Two to start
hidden getaway planned
hooded by woods
secretly intimate
a silent motor
black search began
waiting with accompaniment
tap - tap - tap
drowsy state triumphs
a starred awakening
sirens blaring, lights flashing
escorted and directed away
quick glance back
one hanging above...
