THE UNGRATEFUL THIEF

one fine day a miracle appeared to one who had nothing
A plum of ripe was indeed a sniggle present for the stealing
But it appeared too small even for a ragged beggar's heart
Why this easy and gracious gift from the Gods was not good enough
Became a mystery and laughing oddity in all the village
Who does this thief who look upon himself with the utmost superior smirk
think he is
Left five gold nuggets in plain sight and left a note that said "I cannot"
When sighted the owner said "praise be" for indeed this thief is quite the character
is he not
Ungrateful is what the other thieves said and closed their mouths to him and looked the
other way from him
For is he a thief or not?
