"Little Jimmy and Credit Card Fraud" by Luca Maddalini

One day little Jimmy had gone into town A little outing with his sisters and mother So while they went shopping little Jimmy sat down

He did not like it as it was a bother

He parked his bottom on a large wooden bench

When suddenly he noticed a large red machine

It held Coke products, his thirst he could quench

Painted in red he gasped “wow did it gleam!”

However, little Jimmy being the young age of five

Had not so much cash to his person or name So little jimmy felt saddened, deprived This lack of money made Jimmy feel lame

He looked to the left and to his surprise

There did it lay: a bright credit card

Reaching out over; a decision unwise He grabbed it and felt it, sturdy and hard

Now little Jimmy had a decision to make He has access to money in some faraway safe

However he takes a bit and stops and thinks

A question popped out quick as a wink

Little Jimmy wondered “Is this wrong or what?”

“Using some money to which I have no right?”

It’s just a small soda, a dollar, but What if the owner needs that dollar tonight?

It is possible that this card has little to spare

Not everyone is well off in this world today

But even if someone is rich and can share

Does that justify my needing to prey?

Little Jimmy thought a little while longer And came to a conclusion a few seconds later

He placed the card back and felt a bit stronger

He learned stealing is bad, no matter is greater.
