Simple Simon mugged a pieman going to the fair

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “drop your underwear”

Said the pieman to Simple Simon “Show me first your gun”

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “Sorry gotta run”

Said the pieman to Simple Simon “I will break your leg”

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “Please don’t sir, I beg”

Said the pieman to Simple Simon “Why don’t you get a job?”

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “It is my job to rob”

Said the pieman to Simple Simon “Who failed to train you well?”

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “You must promise not to tell”

Said the pieman to Simple Simon “Your secret’s safe with me”

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “It was Washington DC”

Said the pieman to Simple Simon “Your only tactic was a screw?”

Said Simple Simon to the pieman “They kept the biggest ones for you”
