The Big Nose Bandit

One of our famous residents is
The Big Nose Bandit well known for his
Protuberant proboscis as he
Does his banking matter-of-factly
Stealing money then stealing away

If they could ever catch him someday
It would be interesting to learn
How it was he decided to earn
His living in this distinctive way

My long nose is within normal range
And my bank account while just small change
Is impeccable in honesty
Yet a fat lot o' good it does me

Somehow I find it all rather strange
That the Big Nose Bandit does so well
While I am often in banking hell
Through just forgetting to rearrange
The ducks of my bucks in the right row

But the world is mad as around we go
As people like the Big Nose Bandit know

Well you know Steve sometimes I have to question if they are really so wrong as more and more of us face financial hardship imposed on us by governments, big business, big industry and big greed from all of them. I don't condone crime but when I refilled only half the pills it takes to keep me alive and it came to $580.00 Canadian I have to wonder who the real criminals are. If you know what I mean.

I like this... at times it feels like being honest is the way to a life of well - hell... but then I realize I need to live in this world and look myself in the mirror... the rewards will come - honestly
