Do Not Steal

On second thought,
the place doesn't look right.
I think I'll stay clear,
to avoid a deadly fight.

Anything could happen,
the day is still young.
There may be people around,
but no traps have been sprung.

Up ahead a building appears,
and a sign warning not to steal.
This 'Tom' could be friendly,
a chance to trade is real.

I called out to Tom real loud,
maybe he is somewhere near.
There's no way he'd leave this stuff.
He's around somewhere, it's clear.
