POEM BASED ON AN OLD JOKE A village copper was on his beat When he saw a parked car rocking The rate that it was moving It really was quite shocking The windows were steaming up He flashed his torch through the window A couple were on the backseat The ladies legs were all a kimbo The guy winds down the car window Saying I’m with my dance partner Fran We’re trying to perfect the Tango We do it wherever we can! The copper goes about his duties Later he comes across the same car It was parked around the corner The ‘dancers’ hadn’t moved too far Again the car was rocking This time to a latin beat The pace of it was shocking again the couple were on the back seat So he taps upon the window This time the lady pops up her head She says we’re practising the Foxtrot I must perfect my moves with Fred The copper says he will be on his way As he gets a mobile phone call The couple climb into the front seat Hoping their engine doesn’t stall A little while later he sees the same car It is rocking at an alarming rate There's condensation running down the windows The occupants he is about to berate So he bangs upon the window Saying I bet you're doing the Bossanova The red faced girl says no officer - I'm doing the boss a favour! 7/28/18

Hey Jan, that scene played out in a cemetery. The officer asked "didn't you see the sign that said KEEP OUT"? The occupants answered "No officer, we saw the sign that said "GET A LOT WHILE YOUR YOUNG".

she was doing the favor quite well....sweating windows make that easy to tell....she wanted a raise so we made a deal....they call me areosmith, i rock cars off the wheel....and that is what she heard....so to get what she thought she deserved....she did all i wanted in ALL CAPS....and if that copper would have stopped following us, we could have been called it a rap....lol....as always jan, you are the jester....lol....i Love your sense of humor....;)
