Poem
The deputy of this small town enjoys flashing his police car lights down main street, in the evening, on Saturday nights Like a one car parade on Easter Sunday He loves Boss hogging people around; being a big shot rural tin badge, who only has the respect of his closest friends Most local citizens have known him since he was a little boy He always walked with a swagger, having a toy pistol hanging from his waist Granted dumb luck in life, chance meeting his wealthy wife Caught her on the rebound, when her marriage had crumbled Opportunistic fella that he was, he acted all sweet and humble Melted her heart ... married her quick You know how the rest goes, the whole Hollywood story bit Had her rich daddy give him his dream job, working under the legendary town sheriff Now deputy hates having to fetch the bone, being told what to do by the aging law man Deputy broods daily, his thoughts drifting wrong Saying to himself it won't be long, because the sheriff is old It's gonna be his town soon, and it's gonna be run like a proper, hell-raising saloon Rowdy weekends will be bringing in big revenues, shaking down city folk is gonna set him up nice for life They might even build a statue of him, that would be alright But first things first: ain't no deals gonna be done in his town, unless they cut him in on the price Deputy Do Wrong has himself big plans Deputy got ideas of doing more wrong ... and everybody that pass through his town is gonna be fetching the bone
