the barefoot bard Poet Rhyme

A Blue Light Flashed

      When my boys were ten or so 
      on a fishing trip we did go

       In my rough old ute through a city street
       Roadworthy standards it probably did not meet

       Suddenly behind us a flashing blue light
       Bloody cops they always cause a fright

        I pull over my two boys are on the floor
        these cops approach the drivers door

        Thoughts are forming how can I divert their attention
        pretend I,m lost they pullout their street map direction

        Once again we're on our way
        My diversion's worked no traffic fines today

        Next day before the sun has risen 
        catch some fish that is what we envision

        Finally rays of sunlight filters through
        The creek has dried up, no water is in view
        
        It's rare I see my fifty year old boys today, I wish
        Once again together we could go and fish


      Footnote: I go back forty years . I wonder do they still make street directories
