A Thank You Note For The Thief... Poem by Chuy Amante

I prayed for years that a robber would come in,
take all the electronic shite
my kids are addicted to
and go ruin his kid's lives with it!

How evil of me!
To wish the demise of another soul!

Finally I gave a friend $20 and a house key
and took my monsters out of town
for just a couple of days

Upon returning, there was a nicely kicked out window screen!
Stuff strewn on the floor and NO Electronic devices!

I screamed inside my head, 'There is a God! '
and me must have sent an angel to us! ! !

My kids are FREE AT LAST! ! ! ! !
I just have to act bummed out
about our misfortune...
