A Traffic Cop
A traffic cop will make you stop
Because, of course, he can;
And so you sit and seethe inside
Your car or mini-van.
He’ll wave some traffic through
And some pedestrians let pass,
Your foot upon the brake instead
Of stepping on the gas.
He’s hooked on all his power –
After all, he’s in control –
And ruining your day appears
To be his only goal.
It’s strange to see what happens
When authority’s assigned.
Put someone in command and soon
A bully’s what you’ll find.
