The Disastrous Traffic Stop
The Disastrous Traffic Stop
By Elton Camp
To pull over quickly Robert didn’t fail
Just as soon as he saw a cop on his tail
“Sir, you exceeded the speed limit, I fear.
That is the reason I pulled you over here.”
Robert gave the office a sheepish grin
“My radar detector wasn’t plugged in.
Hey, man, you have to be on the take.
Shouldn’t a cop be in better shape?”
The cop said, “Hand your license here.”
“I can’t reach it unless you hold my beer.”
As the riot act the mad cop to Robert read:
“You too dumb for McDonald’s instead?”
The cop then asked why he drove so fast
“A well-patrolled area I was trying to get past.”
And I was also running pretty far behind
For my crack delivery the boss did assign.”
“You’re not going to check the trunk are you?
If so, then of being courteous I am through.”
“Hey, is your rod a nine millimeter gun?
This 44 magnum in my hand is more fun.”
