FRAMED!!
Priceless paintings, in the Museum.....FRAMED!
Professional thieves return again and again!
Now, some of these paintings no longer remain!
So, once again, the public is.....FRAMED!
Connors, with a long streak, of narrow escapes,
Was finally caught, but then dares to claim....FRAMED!
A master thief, stealing masterpieces....alas! alack!
For several millions, he now offers them back!
This man's constant mischief goes on just the same!
And, history repeats..... everyone is FRAMED!
Being "Master of the Heist" is a dangerous game,
With intrigue and many chases, down a dark lane!
He steals and will return priceless treasures, for a sum!
Sell them...steal them again! Are we really this dumb?
In Boston, the police have much "egg on their face"!
Tighter security, in Art Galleries, needs to be in place!
Criminals are defiant, unafraid and think they're in charge!
A sick joke on everyone, while they roam at large!
Habitual offenders, who will scream "innocence"...
When they are caught....it does not make good sense!
"Fences" and smart lawyers will help them get free,
To steal more and more, from the Museums, you see!
Youngworth, another of Connors' thieving friends,
Was hauled off to jail, but the threat never ends!
His wife knew, where the paintings were hidden,
Unless they released him, her testimony was forbidden!
Her sick conscience must have taken a rough ride,
For later..........she chose to commit suicide!
Connor gives tantalizing clues, to sneer at the law!
Says paintings are stored locally, but no one saw!
He will not admit, to being a part of the heist,
But, he will tell all, if the police and judge are nice!
Friends have been stabbed, yet they all silently stand,
Playing "cat and mouse" games, to the very last man!
Threats and ransom only encourage more and more!
More greedy, daring fools will flock to your door!
This master thief was caught again and he was heard,
Shouting aloud, that he would have the last word!
I'd put tape on his mouth and find a strong, oak tree,
And I would hang this rascal, where all folks could see!
We give too much attention, to creeps just like this!
It encourages other gold and glory seekers to go amiss!
Criminals can't comprehend anything fair or true!
So, a helpless "victim" mentality, just will not do!
For stealing, lying, murder, they'll end up in Hell,
And this place is where they all need to dwell!
A huge, rough shove, in the general direction,
Might bring new results and a speck of correction!
Wasting energy, funds, lives....on such an evil thing,
While frustration, anger, injustice....continue to sting,
Is just ridiculous....not worthy of decent folk!
Our so-called JUSTICE is now just a sick joke!
We can't play with devils, pretending to be human, so...
Let's just get on with it....this menace has to go!
For in the new year 2000, Connor will be free!
Will retire, to the south of France and then they will see,
The need for more security, at the Louvre, on that dim day,
Or the Mona Lisa might disappear, in some mysterious way!
It would be easier to follow Connor, everywhere that he goes,
And if he even looks at a painting, stick a gun up his nose!!
We are so lax........so polite.......so fair.......so concerned!
Most criminals win and the rest of us get burned!
Connor has had a heart attack....IS IN INTENSIVE CARE!
POOR MR. CONNOR!!
We MUST save his precious life...dying would be too unfair!
I would not lift one finger....and I'd make him BEG....
A spoonful of medicine, for his secret place....only then I'd give,
He'd tell, where these stolen paintings are...or he would not live!
This cowardly criminal would cough up the good news,
And scream blue murder, for having such cruel abuse!
Bostonians won't be blue, when they hear of his demise!
The good care he now gets, makes blood pressures rise!
Let him go to his dark grave, with a sneer on his ugly face!
One day, all of these paintings, will be back in their proper place!
Quite by accident, someone will discover them..... you see!
The TRUTH always surfaces.....EVENTUALLY!

The more I know about the devious behaviour,
of humans, the more I
adore animals. I've never heard of an animal stealing money,
or art objects and they never bite the "hand that feeds them". Their
loyalty and unconditional love, puts them at the top, of my popularity
list.
