No Crime Today

Two of our fine professionals in blue
Casually loitering at the zoo
Said they were at lunch
[It was just a hunch]
Claiming they had nothing better to do!

I know this is a stereotype, but amazing the number of times I have seen our "men in blue" in places they should not be while on duty! P.S. I need to ask my son, a retired policeman, about that.

Ah, we here in Ashland don't have that much serious crime, I don't think. We're a pretty peaceful little town in eastern Kentucky.

Good one. I wonder if there is any crime at the zoo. It is a crime if one of the wild dangerous ones escapes. Thanks for your understanding comment on my page. Sara

Not likely. I think they were killing time. I don't know what I said, Sara, but you are very welcome. I usually don't comment unless it's good!
