A Gut Feeling


Dariusz Piotrowski: Thief swallows stomach full of stolen goods before arrest

Hard to swallow Dariusz Piotrowski
When thieving concealing his swag
Not for him a laggard's knapsack
Common or garden burglars bag

Accosted by cops most suspicious
Scene-of-crime too obviously near
Yet No sign of criminal evidence
When frisking his pockets for gear

Misgivings of whiff implication
Frisking pockets produce no clue
Of any wicked intention
Moreover seemed nothing much ado

This human vacuum cleaner
Had them fooled with mastered art
No pointers, marks no traces of sparks
Buried treasure it seemed no part

They locked him away for good measure
Should contrition be at hand
Cross-questioning deep probing
The "Who and What" to understand

Moments passed when groans occurred
Much carping from his cell
Became screaming panic stations
Painful stomach now giving him hell

At A&E they X-Rayed him
and found to their surprise
gold and silver objet d'art
A Pirate’s treasured prize

the moral of this escapade
If when working you ingest
acknowledge health and safety
your stomach’s not your chest
