Joseph May Poet Free verse

German Shepherd

I  usually work at airports
Checking for things people snort
As well as the wacky  weed they smoke
Last week I caught an English bloke
Trying to smuggle  ganja and  some  "coke"


I sniffed him out before he even  boarded the plane
Sometimes I wonder if that bloke was insane
And the week before that
I caught a lady with some "pot" in her hat!




I took this job cause I get a buzz
From sniffing out all  those  drugs with the fuzz
But yesterday  I got so high
I almost let a drug smuggler get by!
                           .................
