Covid Rules for Career Criminals – poem 37

Do 
vandalise deface and damage 
steal and shoot and snort
defraud and threaten cheat besmirch 
and otherwise extort
Be contactless, in short

Don’t 
jostle grapple grope molest
or wrestle do not mug
No smacking shouting kneeing nutting
throttling like a Thug*
As this may spread the bug

*Thug: HISTORICAL
a member of an organization of robbers and 
assassins in India. Devotees of the goddess Kali, 
the Thugs waylaid and strangled their victims, 
usually travellers, in a ritually prescribed manner. 
They were suppressed by the British in the 1830s.
