The Day I Became Delinquent

 

With my mother and father,

I lived in the Queens sewer

There the conveniences

were sufficient save food

 

Mother, Dad was never home,

would send me on search missions

"Search and steal" we called them all

Hood "King of Theft" I became

 

No regular grocery 

bandit for hire would I be

Bakeries were my target

Cherry pie my specialty

 

Things got to be exciting

The nation's best detective,

cherry pie lover way back,

was now on my case and tail

 

King of Theft, mouse** made great

Stealthiest thief you could know

Making sad fools of the law

Delinquent mouse made big time

 - Rommy would like for us to give a voice to a villain (fictional only please). My villain is Ratigan of Walt Disney fame, in the movie "The Great Mouse Detective" (link) which was released in 1992.  Ratigan was from sewer heritage and made big time as a bakery thief.  We saw the movie on TV a while back.  You could probably check the movie out on a DVD from your local library.

 - **Ratigan thinks himself as a mouse but in the film he is actually a rat ("Although he lavishes himself as a mouse, he has rat-like characteristics, such as sharp fangs and fingers, a large nose, and a long, pink tail." (http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Ratigan)
