Watch your words and letters
The Bandit with his knack
Is stealing by to make a grab
Acquiring thoughts to fill his sack
So keep a tight rein on your sayings
Be careful with your share
He’ll play on sense by charming tense
Captivated from thin air
It’s not so much with what is said
But more the unintended share
Where bandits take up chances
To leave a little pleasure there
"The Rhyme Bandit rides at night,
With couplets tucked beneath his hat;
He tiptoes through the town unseen,
And leaves a verse where none has been."
