Robert W Service - Bank RobberRobert W Service - Bank Robber
Work rating: Medium


I much admire, I must admit,          The man who robs a Bank; It takes a lot of guts and grit,          For lack of which I thank The gods: a chap `twould make of me          You wouldn`t ask to tea. I do not mean a burglar cove          Who climbs into a house, From room to room flash-lit to rove          As quiet as a mouse; Ah no, in Crime he cannot rank          With him who robs a Bank. Who seemeth not to care a whoop          For danger at its height; Who handles what is known as `soup,`          And dandles dynamite: Unto a bloke who can do that          I doff my bowler hat. I think he is the kind of stuff          To be a mighty man In battlefield,—aye, brave enough          The Cross Victorian To win and rise to high command,          A hero in the land. What General with all his swank Has guts enough to rob a Bank!
