Chalk Outline

Imagine if you would,
a comedic TV show.
Funny most evenings
and has a nice flow.

The guy who works
for Police homicide
the one who dose
the chalk outline.
A psychic friend of mine,
who's always on time,
He's a real psychic
He actually tells people
when not to show up for work,
or when they should 
or shouldn't drive.
He's trying to save lives.

Working alone and
telling people over the phone,
when they should stay home.
He's been reported
to the police.
And chewed out
by the police chief.

He tells people to double lock
their doors so 
they don't get robbed.
He knocks on your door
and says if you don't mind,
I don't want you
to become a chalk outline.
tomorrow don't answer
your door after 4:00

And ya know kids
like being told,
to be cool and
stay home from school...
Because their boyfriend 
or girlfriend Ain't quite right.
Like a song that's sung,
they like to showoff 
playing with a Gun.
The parents can't complain,
until then neighbors kid got shot.
They thought he was insane.
