Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Art for the Taking

I am an art thief now retired,

A long profitable career.

At a young age I was inspired,

Make masterpieces disappear.

I found I had that magic touch,

No matter what security

Had all the museums and such,

I planned the theft, then made it be.

I do know of one case in point,

A famous masterpiece I stole.

Museum's pride got out of joint,

But coverup is now the goal.

Each morning I wake up and see

Mona Lisa smiling at me.
