Samples:
The Family Fortune

There's always been a fierce rivalry between myself and my brother
As we were forever trying to curry favor with our mother.
She had become a poor widow since killing Daddy;
A crime she committed to secure a fortune for the family.
(Which would be nicely provided for by his insurance company.)
That his death was a suicide she had everyone convinced.
Unfortunately though, Ma never read the fine print.
Dad's "suicide" was not a covered thing.
Hence no money would be forthcoming.

The next best way to amass a fortune, she believed
Was to teach us the art and skills of thieves.
It's not enough to say we did well.
In my humble opinion, I believe we excelled.
We procured more possessions than we ever thought possible
And only one time did one of us wind up in the hospital.
It was when my brother awoke some old fellow's dog
And in running away tripped over a log
A misfortune for him that was lucky for me
As I had been running just a bit slower than he.

The rivalry that I earlier mentioned
Revolved around this particular profession.
“Who was the better thief?” was a considerable question.
I argued that it mattered not who was more daring
But who returned with the most valuable thing.
On the other hand, it was my brother's belief
That the danger involved measured the thief.
Thus it was that a contest was set up
With our honorable mother as the final judge
To determine which of us was the better thief
My more daring brother or the more brilliant me.

Well, to make a long story short
My more daring brother is the one who got caught.
And in going up there to post his bail
I found the story he told landed me in jail!
Which of us is the better thief remains unresolved
A baffling question which may never be solved.
Anyway it makes no difference; neither of us won
Our sister's run off with the family fortune!
