Certainly colorful and certainly clever use of the ABC format. Very well done. I really like this advice: "Wear a balaclava when a public place you rob." Good luck in the contest.

That's quite a list for hoodlums. I like the slant - "Some people don't deserve their wealth." It's a fun way to look at crime and punisment, lol.
God post. Good luck with the contest.

What a creative way of applying the A-B-Cs. You did quite well in the writing. You might want to think about using a different font or background color.

Comment from Spitfire
A great subject matter. Each line is a gem. And end rhyme too.
What more can a reader ask. Favorite lines:
Help out a mate who's locked away by visiting his wife.
Just a little sweetener can make a cop go blind.
Muscly men with baseball bats deserve your best respecting.
Never mess with Mr Big; kneecaps are worth protecting.

This is really great! Clever, creative, imaginative, and... wait a minute... How come you know so much about all this? Are you on the prison library computer again?
WELL DONE! Now I'll vote!

Yeah, they give me extra time on the computers if I show the guards how to download pirated movies like The Shawshank Redemption and The Great Escape.
Thanks!!

This is really good. You managed to have wonderful rhymes all the way thru, yet none of them sound forced and the piece retains it's logic (burglar wise, haha). You also incorporated the tips into more than one line so that the words flow from one to the next quite naturally. Well done.

Comment from barkingdog
This is the best piece of poetry that I've read that doesn't need translation. I like metaphors, etc. but sometimes it's just nice to have is plainly stated.
I can't imagine anyone else winning the contest, mystery writer.
