Shameful Parasites On the Public
Shameful Parasites On the Public
By Elton Camp
Here is what this write is intended to do
It’s an indictment, not of most, but of few
Law enforcement has people of integrity
Who protectors of the public try to be
Most every community will have some
Who are ignorant, rude and greedy scum
Police work is a last-resort job they take
To give them a paid, extended coffee break
They delight to hide behind a sign or tree
So that passing motorists are unable to see
There, well concealed, they will park
Until they see one who’s an easy mark
Young, elderly, Hispanic or black
Siren wailing, they’re on the track
Though the fine is their actual game
The public’s safety is their bogus claim
It’s in a speed trap that they’ve laid
To keep their own salary well paid
Of many small town, motorists beware
For cops like this may be lurking there
In such a place, never spend a dime
They use cops who are stinking slime
