Criminal

She smiled at me and asked

“Can you spare some time

We’d like your true opinion

On criminals, and crime”

She asked me lots of questions

About the criminal classes

I told her what I thought

And how I’d kick their arses

I told her that I reckoned

These people were a curse

Then when she wasn’t looking

I ran off with her purse

Excellent...

This reminded me of a poll taker who accosted me outside the Great White Horse Hotel in Ipswich 30 years ago. She plied me with questions about cigarettes and smoking for over an hour. Still laughing, Jim "Judge Not, Lest Ye Yeeselves Be Judged": God

I hate getting accosted in

I hate getting accosted in the street, if i am and its some sort of opinion poll, i lie like mad, and then tell them that ive lied when theyve finished asking questions. I know the white horse, i have been there on many occasions, at the moment i'm working just a few miles from Ipswich at Wattisham airfield. Anyway, thanks for reading. Regards John
