Based on a true story this
From when I was about six or seven
I stole some sweets
So the owner called the police
In order to teach me a lesson
I have always felt
He was a little harsh
And his reaction was over the top
But I guess I learned then
Never to steal again
Well, at least not from his shop
Cops & Robbers
Caught with
my hands
in the
sweetie jar
I retreat,
shamefaced,
when I
hear a
police car…
Who the
fuck has
called
the cops?
I only
stole
a few
pear
drops…

I still got my first tenner, well sort of. I was given it for my 13th birthday and bought two vinyl albums (no cds or streaming back then) – Bat out of Hell and Grease. They are not playable but I still got them. Now whether that included the 25p return bus fare to town and fish & chips (in proper newspaper) I can’t remember – probably

At similar age, I stole fruits from a stall, was not caught; then I stole stamps, I was caught, the shopkeeper threatened to tell my parents. I never steal again.
