The Thief And The Madman
The neighborhood was calm,only a few passer byes
I scanned the entire area with my desperate eyes
When no one was looking,I sneaked into the house
Nothing worth picking,only a television set,some dirty plates and a lonely mouse
So I picked the Television and started to run
After a while I heard footsteps behind me,as I turned...
A mean looking man was racing after me
Must be the owner,so I ran speedily
The faster I ran,the faster he ran after me
Wait! Wait! He started calling out to me
How will I wait when I've just been caught in the act?
I'll put in my all and never look at my back
But somehow I could tell,this man was determined as well
To take me away for my crime and make me pay
At a point I couldn't take it anymore
Ready for whatever,I stopped and dropped the television on the ground
When he saw that I'd stopped,he stopped as well
Panting seriously, he approached me and started to talk...
"I have been running after you and calling out to you since but you won't listen
There you go,you forgot the remote control"

Thats so true, it could be anything, life and we forget happy, love and we forget sharing...good read dustyjjewels.
A well constructed parable you have here!
My thinking may be a bit too concrete here but I am thinking that if that much running had taken place the tv might have ended up on the ground rather then on the floor?

Perhaps ground would have been the better word and not floor. Thank you for the chip...I appreciate it.
