Southern Cross

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!

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.

There was once a pickpocket named Mickey
 
   Whose technique was quite deft and so tricky

      He would bilk you of cash

         And away he would dash

            Leaving you sobbing o'er yer gin rickey

Prosperity, vagabond,
Pickpocket of poor and old
Predator of oil and gold
Jewels, cash, land, or blondes.

When Prosperity pulls stakes,
Abandonment marks its wake 
Jobs and places disappeared
Prosperity robbed and sneered.

The Injured Headquarter

The guy might be a pickpocket
But he is my brother
One of the sons of the land of Asia
A weed of the populous part of the earth

In a bottled dark he keeps a dragonfly
and tells himself: greetings to you, the deadened morning.

Lottery Ticket 1

Long back, a lottery ticket, I bought
Won a small sum which was lucky I thought
I boarded a bus with that cash
Lost five times that win in a flash
To a pickpocket, which left me distraught.

And Behold the Moon

I watch in every night at the stars 
I have even a window above to the bed which 
gives their light 
and even though it's not easy
I try to take all that things just as they are 
in their relationship with me
I'm tired of being the little pickpocket 
I want to steal all that remains 
I'll be there 
I’ll put me back.

The Trouble With Poets

If by accident, they occasionally
come near to any kind of truth
they tend to breakout in hives,
or shake uncontrollably.

We shouldn’t expect them to be truthful,
it’s asking too much.
Would we demand a dog
cook its own dinner,
or a pickpocket play a glockenspiel
while lifting a wallet?

Mostly and quite contrarily,
we condemn the author
for having lied
a whole lot better
than we ever could have.
