#90: Fingers McGinty And The Naughty Bot

Fingers fed a punchcard
into the back of the Naughty Bot's head.
The plan was simple as an egg.
Naughty Bot would pootle into the bank foyer,

make cute, synthesised poop noises,
expose lady's bloomers and other darling antics

while Fingers used the distraction
to sneak past security,
shoot the bank manager (against whom
he had a personal grudge)

and crack the safe.
You've guessed the end -

it didn't work like that,
Naughty Bot hacking at children's ears
with its steel pincers,
gunned down as the police arrived

Fingers running off down a backstreet,
already composing his complaint letter.
