110 - Crime

Here’s a story, You’ll find this funny

I desperately wanted to make some money

I turned to crime

Did overtime

The days were long and full of honey

I then appeared on Dragon’s Den

I tried to con the businessmen

They kicked me out

It was a rout

I won’t be going there again

So I applied for The Apprentice

I thought it was gonna be momentous

But I got fired

I wasn’t required

The decision made was most portentous

I then got featured on Panorama

This wasn’t good - what a drama!

But to their dismay

I ran away

I don’t want to repeat that trauma

Finally I was on the News

I had to give lots of interviews

After some detail

I’m now in jail

I don’t think I’ve got much else to lose
