Going to bed the other night,
I noticed people in my shed stealing things,
I phoned the Gardaí but was told there was no one in the area to help,
The Gardaí said they would send someone over as soon as possible.
I hung up;

A minute later I rang again. 'Hello', I said,
'I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed.
You don't have to hurry now,
because I've shot them.'

Within five minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area,
plus 2 Gardaí helicopters and an armed response unit.
They caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the officers said:
'I thought you said you'd shot them.'
To which I replied:
'I thought you said there was no one available.'
