MEN ON THE RUN

He was a jewel thief of the highest renown 
A man on the run wanted in every city and town
Watch out Queenie he would steal your crown 
No doubt about it this man was hard to pin down 

Tonight he would carry out his most daring raid 
A jewellers in Amsterdam plans now being made 
Diamonds and rubies were to be there on show 
Worth millions according to those in the know 

The raid was to be carried out at just after eight
For this jewel thief and his cohorts lay in wait
Everything went well and was according to plan
The jewellery was hidden at the back of a van 

A boat was to be waiting at the deserted canal 
Driven by a Frenchman whose name was Pascal
Did the gang you ask get away with this crime ?
I cannot say for it's the end of this poetry rhyme
