Spreading the wealth.

Reminds me of a poem I read once as a kid:

"Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your wardrobe grow?

With a little bit here
And a little bit there
I'm lifting all that I can
Just to leave the shelves bare.

It matters not to me
Whose stuff it is and to whom it belong
Just so I don't get caught because stealing is, even for Democrats
Just plain wrong.
