Officer! I've been burgled!

Officer! I've been burgled!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Police! I like to report a robbery.
Yes Sir. What are the details?

Someone, a thief no doubt
has broken into my house,
and I have been burgled.
What seems to be missing Sir?

All my life I have collected debts
and I have worked very hard
to accumulate these such debts,
and now.... they have all been stolen.
That's outrageous Sir?

Can you be  more specific?
Officer, I had substantial debts on my cards,
my loans, my ex's, kids expenditures, holidays,
my interests, tax debts, and now.... I find
they are all gone.

Anything else missing Sir?
Yes! I don't have any worries anymore.
They have all disappeared, gone!

Stolen, no doubt!
Yes!

Anything else, you can think of?
Yes! Come to think of it,
I don't feel anxious or have any fears anymore.
They too, have been stolen.

That's terrible Sir!
That's just it! I don't feel terrible.

Is that all?
No! I feel joy and happiness.
The robber must have left
his emotions behind at the scene.
I feel most violated
with all this positivity!

This is horrific Sir!
I know! I now have zero debts!
Cleaned out good and proper I am.
I am ruined I tell you, ruined!

What a rotter Sir!
You can say that again!

What a rotter Sir!
Yes! Who would do such a thing!

Exactly!
Exactly!
