Sarah’s purse or Harry’s wallet
neighbor’s chest or auntie’s closet
his penchant for picking
his urge for more
kleptomaniac Cavendish
was talk of town
his ‘ruse’ foiled
his ‘moves’ unfurled
exposed Cavendish
got exiled from town
welcomed by vagrants
admired by outcasts
kleptomaniac Cavendish
dissed by town
was crowned by thieves
in ditches and rubble
in trash and waste
he found his find
what most declined
what ‘most’ declined
to see in him
was a gentle soul
oblivious to crime
