Sometimes crime pays handsomely!

Sometimes crime pays handsomely!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The only time
I ever had a lot
of money was...
when I was banker
on monopoly,
when I played
by myself.

Funny thing was,
I robbed my own bank
and didn't go to jail.

Who says crime doesn't pay
on the play!


Then I got done
for counterfeiting,
at Woolworths.

- not sure if it's 'by oneself' or 'with oneself'
