Poem
The Corrupt Cop By Elton Camp The cop was parked in bushes, well out of sight When he saw a new Lexus, it gave him delight The out-of-state tag was what he wanted to see Because really easy picking this one should be He dashed down the road with siren and lights The cop had no concern for the citizen’s rights And no reasoning did the cop intend to take As for proof he had a radar gun that was fake And just as he had done countless times before, He swaggered to the victim’s passenger door “I see that you have no respect for the law at all. For this violation an expensive ticket does call.” Rich folks like you speed like a bat out of hell And for public safety that isn’t going too well You think this is nothing but a tiny, hick town And you can do anything if you come around The motorist said that he hadn’t done a thing But only a smirking laugh did the denial bring “To talk your way out of this, no need to try. I’ve got the proof and the radar gun don’t lie.” The driver didn’t argue but thought “Damnation” As he realized that a speed trap was in operation “All right then, please tell me where to go to pay It’s getting late and I really need to be on my way.” “Friend, that office is now closed for the night, If you’re in a rush, that’ll put you into a tight. Because since you can’t pay the fine today, It’s in our comfortable jail you will have to stay.” At those words, the motorist’s face turned pale He was frightened of the cop and of his jail “You’re passing through so I’ll accommodate. Pay me now in cash and then you won’t be late.”
