Prude Pick-Pocket To pick a pocket, a person Would have to get awfully close To the posterior of another person Or at least invade the personal space Of said person in some preposterous way… An “accidental” bumping of shoulders in passing And the perfectly subtle brushing of pants or purse. But the perfect subtlety of picking pockets must needs be Practiced first. And what precautions are put in place during that period of preparation, to prevent unprofessional pick pocketers’ hands from grazing improper places on another person’s person? My pocket book says pick pocketing probably would be profitable personally… But the prude in me screams “Impossible! Please Don’t Pick That Person’s Pocket!”
