A Powerful Gift

I was born with this powerful gift It disarms felons and gangsters alike I've been known to calm a giant sized tift And make a killer get off of his bike I've taken guns from a neighborhood gang And clapped handcuffs on a thousand thieves Collected weapons that will never go "bang" And stopped a crime before the widow grieves This special power was given to me To nurture now and forever after It is crime fighting at its best, you see - I have the gift of infectious laughter It seems that my gift starts from a slight grin And grows as it spreads to those in hearing Soon laughter is heard as a happy din With danger and fear soon disappearing. Criminals and thugs will laugh 'til they weep The power of this gift is just that strong The tears they shed seem to come from down deep Laughter and crime don't mix for very long Policemen smile at my Super Power And pat me on the back at the day's end "He's better than Superman hour for hour - Bad guys all quit at the message he'll send!"
