Bag (Purse) Stealers

A little ditty I wrote for the kids when they were young.......silly really

Snow White always was so good

Till she met Red Riding Hood

Together they would walk the street

Knocking old ladies off their feet

 

Pinching bags was their delight

Till they got into a fight

Then they’d run as fast they could

Promising always to be good

 

Soon they met with Andy Pandy

But he proved to be too handy

He would try to run the show

Till they met Pinocchio

 

Pinocchio was a crafty fella

So they sent for Cinderella

She was always dressed in tatters

Style is what really matters

 

So they asked the Mad Hatter

To change her from old tatters

But his manner was alarming

Then along came Prince Charming

 

Prince Charming had a horse of grey

And with girls, a wicked way

But soon came George and his wagon

He’s the one who fought the dragon

 

He rode up, pulling out his spear

Said “ello, what’s going on here?”

“These girls”, said Hatter, rather haughty

Are really very, very naughty

 

“Ladies bags are what they steal”

“A spankings what they need, I feel”

“A spanking would be much too easy”

“I’ll go fetch Doc and Sneezy”

 

Doc and Sneezy came on time

And put them working in their Mine

“For your deeds, you must suffer,

So we’ll make the working tougher”

 

With pick and hammer, they did strike

This was work they didn’t like

“Save us”, Snow White did cry

Then along came Popeye

 

Popeye is the man with spinach

With lots of energy and strength in it

He took the girls up from the mine

They escaped from there just in time.

 

Soon along came Bill and Ben

Those hardworking flowerpot men

They had come to check on whether

The girls were still working together

 

When they saw that they had gone

There was such a carry on

Bill said, “Where can they be?”

We better send for Mowgli

 

Mowgli knew the forest well

But he needed Tinker bell

Tinker bell called Peter Pan

From the sky, he could scan

 

There he saw them run amuck

So he called for Daffy Duck

Daffy thought, “this isn’t funny”

So he called for Bugs Bunny

 

Bugs, his carrot he did leave

And the girls he did retrieve

The girls they were a slippery pair

So he called for Yogi Bear

 

Yogi caught the erring pair

And handed them to Harold Hare

The girls they both looked very pale

As Harold put them straight in jail

 

So if you’re thinking of pinching bags

Remember those two in their rags

Sadly sitting out their days

Paying for their naughty ways

Well I thought it rather clever and true satire on those old cartoons.
