Hey all! I’m back with my next set of alouettes. Enjoy!
I remember,once,
While purloining buns
From the kitchen butlery,
Mother interfered,
Held me by my ear,
I didn’t attempt flattery.
“Why bother stealing,
‘Stead of requesting?”
“Would ye hand ’em over?” I asked.
“I was hungry,yet
A bun I didn’t get!”
She blinked,didn’t take me to task.
“If you need devour
You need never scour
The pantry,toiling away,
When I’d give you buns
If you’d ask me once!”
I had nothing more to say.

This was great! It just makes me wonder if he really would have gotten those buns had he asked. Lol! ๐

I knew an older gent – could afford all he’d ever want. But still sought to steel.
As I helped him occasionally I set him straight and said I’d not help if he stole again!
At least from then on, when with me he didn’t seek ten finger discounts!
