A Funny Thing Happened On My Way To Dunkin Donuts
I stopped suddenly in front of the shop that sold donuts
noticing an irate cop outside was having a moment
yelling and running after a squirrel was quite a sight
as I watched them both run across to the park in broad daylight
Suddenly the squirrel dropped something from his mouth
quickly retrieving the donut scurrying south
with the cop on the squirrels heels in hot pursuit
I wondered if this story would be in tomorrows news
The squirrel scurried with his donut prize up a tree
with the cop climbing up after the critter was a sight to see
the agile cop reached out and caught the squirrels tail
and brought the thieving critter down without fail
After the flustered cop got the donut out of the squirrels teeth
he put the squirrel in a small cage in his patrol cars back seat
saying to the squirrel "you found out crime doesn't pay today
and if you or anyone touches my donuts there's hell to pay!"
When he left I resumed getting my bag of dunkin donuts
quickly running with my goodies noticing some stray mutts.
