Speedie

Sitting behind the sign on highway one Waiting for hoons the whole day long The cruiser was primed and ready to go To catch the malefactors in their tale of woo In those days you had to hunt them down No radar or laser to record speeding around A follow and time the only way Get up behind them and let your speedo say. That was the old Speedie method To make the road safe in all speeds measured Now there is no use for for billboards hiding much Scientific instruments measuring speed and such. © Paul Warren Poetry Speedie is a slang term for traffic police.
