The Robbery Poem by Frank Halliwell

While strolling past the bank one day
He heard a teller's frantic shout
And quickly took a peek inside
The staff were running all about.

The patrons too seemed all upset
But no intruders were in view
He grabbed the nearest telephone
Reporting to the boys in blue.

The SWAT teams came from everywhere
On roofs and doorways, grim armed men.
NEWS choppers hovered up above
A crowd of frantic TV men.

The siege was ended in a rage
Machine guns, stun grenades and more.
The culprit captured when he was
Found cowering behind a door.

Success was gained when in the end
No cash was lost, no staff were harmed,
And all involved were very pleased
It seems the small mouse wasn't armed...
