The Crooked Cop

He'd swindle fate, but they bought in protected by a badge' restraint, the pusher, in a ring, his nose would deal with any dealing's pose! So "sell for us" ~ the deputy's roll & County Attorney "in the know!" The sentence lightened, they'd absorb, "be on our team" ~ part of the corp! So down to earth, one jury's word would ridicule this motion serve, and if your caught, legal reserve is always waiting ~ why lose nerve! It's open season, dope's the word, the Deputy's fix, with license lured by silence that is kept observed ~ it's who you are, not what occurred! He's Sheriff now ~ this bridging's game took him uphill ~ crimes not to blame, see now if justice could disdain, his uniform speaks ~ what's in it . . . . feigns!
