IDENTITY THEFT
You don't need a shotgun to do today's crimes
The weaponry's different in digital times;
You'd think that I would have bugger all left
As victim of cyber identity theft;
For somewhere out there I'm sure that there'll be
A bloke called John Coopey – but he is not me!
A brazen young scalliwag – only he'll be
Not some young scuzzie but seventy three.
His trousers'll now not stop up without braces
He finds he can't bend to tie his shoe laces
He's shuffling along at the speed of a snail
He's needing a blacksmith to cut his toe nails
And no doubt by now he's got caught unawares
Puzzling just why he is halfway upstairs
He's bid his farewells to past sexual bliss
He looks like a tramp and he's stinking of piss.
I'm guessing by now I know just how he feels
He's seeing he's got the rough end of the deal
And now realising as things have turned black
He'll be wanting to give my identity back
But “Fuck him!” I say, “For the time he's got left
Let him enjoy my identity theft!”
