Thursday, February 28, 2008   I Robbed a Bank I wore a plastic mask When I undertook this task. I called myself Hank When I robbed a bank. If I'm being honest, And recently I promised To give up telling lies, Removing truth's disguise, I wore the mask as Hank But I really rubbed a bank, A piggy bank, a plastic one. I didn't need to use a gun. I rubbed it just to see If a genie would grant me Three wishes I could use On women, cars and booze. If I'm being honest, That's not the truth, as promised. It was a pig. << Home
