Last Day of the Month

The cops are on the roads today
And this is why, I’d bet,
Their ticket quotas for the month
Have not been filled quite yet.

This is the last day of the month
And so the pressure’s on
To catch some speeders in the hours
Before the day is gone.

We saw them nabbing five or six;
All slowed without a fuss.
I’m glad they nailed those other cars
And had no time for us.
