Robert W Service - Sensitive Burglar
Work rating: Low

Selecting in the dining-room
          The silver of his choice,
The burglar heard from chamber gloom
          A female voice.
As cold and bitter as a toad,
          She spat a nasty name,
So even as his swag he stowed
          He blushed for shame.

`You dirty dog!` he heard her say,
          `I sniff your whisky stench.
I bet you`ve gambled half your pay,
          Or blown it on a wench.
Begone from here, you rakehell boor!
          You shame the human race.
What wife would pillow-share with your
          Disgusting face!`

A tear the tender burglar shed,
          Then indignation rose,
And swiftly striding to her bed
          He said: `I`m none of those.
I am a connoisseur in crime
          And felonies I plan . . .
But otherwise, believe me I`m
          A GENTLEMAN.`
