the caper


by dog e relaford




sam was sad
boris was bad
annie was alert
they all sat in the dirt

waiting for ed
who had a hat on his head
and his friend frank
who worked in a bank

ralph was a guy
with a twinkle in his eye
and harry had a plan
to stick it to the man

what is in it for us
asked gus
and jenny had a notion
to second the motion

they awoke at dawn
to find larry was gone
and stan, that nasty man
had stolen the master plan

red decided to abscond
with a platinum blonde
and ruby without a qualm
had greased the sheriff’s palm

shirley was bereft
when ted got up and left
and uncle joe, that layabout
sold the whole crew out

the hotel was grand
but the castle was sand
and got washed away
at the break of day

children, take heed
don’t believe what you read
or what you see, or what you hear
wake up, and shed a tear
