GLOVE – both long-practiced since youth to use their
SKILL to dupe and rob the poor and
NEEDY, the needy who can’t even afford gloves.

The Cunning Thief – Paul-Charles Chocarne-Moreau

Knave

KNAVE, armed with spirit knife, plus raging
NEEDY black hole heart, caved in by never knowing “no”.

SKILL is theft, it’s hard to escape the conclusion–just or otherwise. His marks create and propagate the

GLOVE, rather than Hood, would be a more fitting moniker…

The dance crowd

KNOCK me over with feather, you reply,
SHOVE me a bit, but aw shucks is how it plays,
USUAL badinage that warms my days.
