Out of the darkness they came
With gusto and one common thought
So many well meaning bandits
Fear and apprehension ‘twas naught
They sprang from the pages
Of mirth and mystical rhyme
Just to spread cheer and love
From out of the pages of time
The breeze carried their song
To each target of their attack
Yet each was caught by surprise
And was duly taken aback
So come all ye merry poets
Poetic Bandits though we be
We’ll only steal a moment or two
Then give it back whole heartedly

Your work is always worth the time to read it. I never really thought of it that way but I suppose I'm one of the time bandits too. Best of luck in the contest.
