Police

The police are
Not your friend,
That is not their job.
When they ask you for
Your ID show it to them do
Not try to be in control when
You are not and if they give
You an order do as they
Say and later you can
Let your lawyer ask
Them to explain
This or that in
Court not in
The street
Where a
False
Step
Can
Get
Them
Or you
Badly hurt.
When a female
Officer shined her
Police car light into
The pumpkin field she
Saw a man, his trousers
Around his ankles holding
A pumpkin in front of his hips
Saying, “Officer! Is it midnight?
There was just a carriage here
And Cinderella and I were ...”
Police may have a sense
Of humor but they are
Not allowed to show
It to you while
On active
Duty.
Off
Hours is
Another story.
