The robber breaks in
 unseen eyes scan, blink and flash
Nabbed in camera....

A young kangaroo pickpocket
Got nabbed when she tried to hock it
But Joey saw
Sex in the raw
And damned if he did not cock it!...

When the sun comes up at daybreak
Challenges lie ahead like a jailbreak?
Oops it's outta the bag
Hope I don't get nabbed
If I do I'll use the name, “Jake Thesnake”...

President Donald Trump
nabbed his title landing a long jump.
Now, we daily leap his every jerky tweet
that even pigeons want downed by skeet.

Nabbed by a cop
Tried to stop crime
Said “drop the loot”

Crook went to jail
Made his bail quick
More detail at six

Turned a new leaf
Tired of grief now
A thief no more

The High Constable received quite a jolt

   When the nut he nabbed decided to bolt

      T'was discovered he muffed

         When the scoundrel he cuffed

            Worse yet, he fled on the Constable's colt...

There was once a weavin' driver named Joad
   
   Nabbed by cops, drivin' in manner forebode

      Asked if he had been boozin'

         No sir, I am just cruisin'

            Tryin' to avoid potholes in the road...

Oh, a mangy little doggie went galumphing down the street
And as his luck would have it he just happened there to meet
A warden with a wagon and a heavy-duty net
And he nabbed the rabid mongrel and he took him to the vet....

At a spot of roadside, shaded
A predator on the prowl
Concealed itself and waited
for prey to run afoul…

Then, madly, with a dash,
It shot out from the thicket;
Nabbed one prey, in a *flash*
And slapped it with a ticket....

suspect
hiding out
incognito
in ol’ Tijuana town
nabbed

lucky
border guard
recognized him
in Juarez, Mexico
Sunday

captured
at gunpoint
handcuffed and jailed
extradited Monday
then freed

He was the big stud-on-campus, was Todd,

   Until he was nabbed smokin' somethin' odd!

      Coach booted him from the team.

         Up in smoke went Mommy's dream,

            Of Todd being on a pro-football squad!

Gus sipped a few brews and went on a spree,

   And in public piddled on a prized tree.

      When the cops nabbed him that day,

         Poet Gus had this to say:

            "Where'er you be, let your water flow free!"

Flash, prance, shout, stare, glare
He's there, everywhere.
Locked in, stuck in snare.
Always in your face.
Focus locked in place.
Attention is grabbed.
Distraction has nabbed
Any free thought, stabbed.

Topics shift, switch, drift,
Avoids being miffed.
Avoids shun and shrift.
No time to dwell think.
No time to smell stink.
Chaos reigns to blur
Shake, rock, smash and stir
Away the demur....

Daily morning birds chirp to wake me up
Sometimes they form a singing group.
Through the sylvan windows with teacup,
I enjoy the early morning tranquility to warm up.
Some mysterious noise from the setup
I made for the baby squirrel, which was grownup.
Oh!I forgot it and started posting poems on poetry soup
It was hungry and so it nabbed my bread and ketchup
I watch the smiling flowers and dancing trees in closeup
Such a venerable day to startup...

Maimed in Maimi,
Dead in Dallas, 
Cut short in California, 
Obliterated in Oklahoma, 
Consumed in Colorado, 
Fired in Florida, 
Killed in Kentucky, 
Torn in Texas, 
Murdered in Michigan, 
Chattered in Chicago, 
Nabbed in New York, 
Critical in Connecticut, 
Gunned in Georgia, 
Mad men wielding guns, 
Liberty for fools, 
The value of life they cannot spell, 
A Culture not defined, 
Yesterday it was Texas, 
Tomorrow, you know not where
In that land where guns replaces logic...
