Talk about burglars

We can talk about burglars
(says Ruby).
You can go first and tell me all
you know about burglars.
Then I can go second and tell you
all I know about burglars.
We can tell each other secret things
that only we know about burglars.

Burglars wear black.
Black hat and black scarf
and special boots that make no noise.
Our burglar used a sock on the line
to sweep all the footprints away.
And then he had to wash it
and put it on the clothes line again.

By the ways,
he couldn't hide in our garden
because we don't have bushes.
We just have plants.
By the ways,
he'd have to lie down,
and we would see his feet.
