Police Boats

There’s a police boat on the river With a flashing bright blue light Keeping watch to guarantee this week That all will be all right. For the General Assembly’s Taking place at the U.N. And if trouble happens, no one knows The where, the how or when. So the cops and even Coast Guard On the water do patrol With the safety of the delegates Their one abiding goal. Yet I cannot help but wonder If they think there is a chance That some bad guys would attack Via that watery expanse. Guess they’re covering the bases For you never can be sure Though those boats with police and weapons Don’t make me feel more secure.
