Criminal

"Your last wish?", asked one cop,
The man in prison got some hope.
The old man's life was like hell,
With the hat on his head, he came out of jail.

Before he dies, wanted to do something good,
"Teach my son how to smile", he said in an amusing mood.
Dangled on the rope, the old man died,
With tears in his eyes, the cop finally smiled.
