Speeding Mcgee

Officer Murphy was driving along
When the traffic started to slow
So he drove up the side of the road, to the front
To see what impeded the flow 

He saw a car just crawling along
And he waved it off the road 
Then McGee rolled down his window
While Murphy was sighting a code

McGee said "Wait one minute,
I saw what it said on the sign
It showed 35 was the limit
And obeyed it to avoid any fine"

Murphy started shaking his head
"McGee you're really a clout
That's not the sign with the limit
35 is the name of the route

Then Murphy look all at the others
Who were in the car with McGee
Finn and Shawn looked quite frighten 
So Murphy asked poor old McGee

"Why do your friends look so shaken 
They both look afraid for their lives"
"I'm not really sure "He told Murphy'
But, we just got route 95

Yes Becca I created him in 2011 and Wee Luck McGee became a contributor on a social wed site called "The Steampunk Empire " which appears to have disappeared without him LOL. I'm hoping to illustrate him this year, Thanks Becca
