Smash and Grab
"Clear case of smash and grab sir,
The perpetrator can't be far away,
The crime is recent; witnesses say
The pane was intact a while ago.
Someone broke the glass, maybe with a hammer
And grabbed the weird thing on display."
"It's not a professional job, you'd say?"
"No, not at all sir, an amateur did it and can't be far
We are sure because there was no getaway car.
The area has been sealed off now of course
The object stolen was, well I don't know
Here's a picture: the pickled what’s it with tubes sticking out of it
Its weird and why anybody in their right mind would want to..
Beats me. Ugh!
It looks to me like a blown up close-sheered prickly-pear
Apparently it's not easy to carry off lightly
I can't understand what anyone would want..."
"That? But that's never a plant, man!"
"You mean it's a...?"
"So, so, you don't know what one looks like yet
Though you've been ten years in the met?
You surprise me sergeant. Yes it is.
Get on to all the cars around-we know what we’re looking for
It sells easily on the black market
Rum business to get mixed up in I know
But those things fetch a pretty price in Jericho.”
For A.S-B.
