Father forgive me

but 

I 

PROUDLY

confess

that my 

shoplifting talents

are still

very much 

alive and well

 

BUT

none of anyone's 

possessions

are threatened

if 

the owners treat me

with

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

 

At an early age,

my Shoplifting skills

were developed at the

Special House In Tuckahoe

(commonly known as the Shithouse)

 

Unless Reese's Pieces

quadruples in price,

my shoplifting dollar value

will not exceed

$10

I've never been 

so blue

since 

I last saw you

in 

that real estate

office

 

I made you laugh

so loud

you ignored

Mr. Fatwad

and 

gave your soul 

to me 

 

Your open mouth

sucked me into

that open house

but you recovered

from that 

dose of me 

and

disappeared 

 

That open house
