Man in Orange
The cat on his face masks
A sly grin from ear to ear
Hat as tall as him
Shoes: click clack

7 colors dash above
Almost hidden by the grey dull clouds
Rain soon attacks
Yet the man in green acts too fast
From his alleyway box he is awake
His grimy hands made to take
click clack
The snack size man is gone
Across the cold wet pavement
Scampering through puddles
Water sprays. Mud smears. Gold sits.
click clack
As sly as a fox and the man is off
Bolting through the lifeless town
Creeping pass the clueless folks
Prey in sight the hawk prepares to land
click clack
Click Clack
CLICK CLACK
Silence.
His pot in reach
The man in green attaches like a leach
An inseparable unit
Until the cars surround
Lights flash and flicker
Alarms sound
And the cops snicker
The Leprecon can live no more
Only trying to feast on his bars
Like a child crying for candy bars
He is taken away
Stripped away from his green
A jumpsuit replaces
Still feigning for his glossy gold bars
Instead enslaved inside rusty old bars
click clack no more
The man in orange sits and waits
