Flashing Lights Behind

A cop on the prowl.

Flashing Lights Behind

 

By Elton Camp

 

There is a certain sinking feeling

When with a cop you’ll be dealing

Since whether you are guilty or not

You are about to be put on the spot

 

What claim does he intend to make?

Perhaps you did make some mistake

Or behind a sign his cruiser he set

He hasn’t got his ticket quota yet

 

Dozens of speeders now pass you by,

But to stop them he doesn’t even try

It’s over to the shoulder and to a stop

And up stalks the obese, grinning cop

 

“You must not know the limit here.

That you were two miles over, I fear.

A safety lesson you now need to learn

And credit on my record I need to earn.”

 

The best thing is tightly close your yap,

And wish Zsa Zsa was around to slap

What you say will get a smirky reply

So it’s best that you don’t even try

 

To get a better job the cop wasn’t able

And may well be a man who’s unstable

That such as he are allowed a gun to tote

Should make a big lump in your throat

 

Besides, it the absolute truth you will tell

You’ve been speeding other times as well

Only this time you happened to get caught

So just accept the ticket and say naught

I haven't been pulled over by a cap YET, but if they're close to my car I get paranoid.. Lol
