Word Burglar
Hey you, yeah you!
With the big black sack
You took my poems
I want them back
I poured out guts
To write each one
If you take all
I'm left with none
I'll make a deal
If you'll comply
I'll pick a few
That you can try
So take em home
It might be fun
Just bring them back
When you are done
I'll give you more
If you should care
Next time just ask
I love to share
