The Hypocritical Cop
The Hypocritical Cop
By Elton Camp
The cop stalked indignantly to the car
“Now just who do you think you are!”
“I saw you daring to send a text.
For a ticket and fine, you’re next.”
“Safety is the most important concern.
When, good sense, will you ever learn!”
“For there is no excuse good enough
To be doing such dangerous stuff.”
He then drove away and didn’t stop
As he keyed into his cruiser laptop
Used radio, radar and dash camera too
His eyes off the road these things to do
From his sacred mission he’ll not swerve
He’ll piously recite “To protect and serve”
(I am opposed to texting while driving because
it is extremely dangerous. This is just a humor
poem.)
