Talented Thief
Once there was a thief named Al MundyA carefree, kindhearted soul
A live and let live kind of attitude
Who had a talent for stealing
He only stole from the ultimate rich
And only the best things
Neve anything small or mundane
Then one night, he got a fright
He got caught and was turned in
Received five years for his trouble
While inside he befriended a priest
Who gave him a few pointers
On how to start a new life
The priest said to pray to begin
And the Lord will give you
All you need in return
So Al did pray and to learn
To go straight and not to give in
Then all was good and Al got out
He found himself wondering
How to serve God, to repay the gift
But he found he had only one talent
The family business as a thief
So he joined the CIA
As a freelance man of the law
And used his talent for the good
With occasional help from his father
One day he got a call
That a girl had been taken for money
So Al prayed and decided to help
Then he and his father went in
To find the girl and get out
With God's help, he did find a way
And all three got home safe
Al still throws his hand in
With God at his side
All they can do is win
