Michael E. Harris Poet Rhyme

Speed Trap

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING  
BUT YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN  
WE DON'T LIKE SPEEDERS 
FLYING THROUGH TOWN  

SPEED LIMIT HERE 
IS THIRTY-FIVE 
OFFICER PETE 
HAS AN EAGLE EYE  

YA  AUGHT TO SLOW DOWN 
TAKE IN THE VIEW  
SEE WHAT OUR TOWN 
HAS TO OFFER YOU  

A BED AND BREAKFAST 
JUST UP THE ROAD 
WITH A POND OUT BACK 
WITH TURTLES AND TOADS  

WE HAVE A GROCER 
WITH A PHARMACY  
WE HAVE A HAIR CUTTER 
BY THE NAME OF ELLIE  

WE HAVE A GAS STATION 
AND COFFEE SHOP  
FILL UP YOUR TANK 
AND HAVE A RED POP 

WE HAVE A TOW TRUCK 
AND A JAIL  
WE HAVE NO PLACE 
TO POST YOUR BAIL 

YOU'LL WAIT TILL TUESDAY  
TO SEE THE MAGISTRATE 
HE WILL BE HERE 
BUT OFTEN LATE
