Tree Up a Tree
“This is ridiculous.” Said the exasperated cop
over the car-phone.
“How the hell, can a tree be up a tree?”
“Do we have a police code for this kind of thing Charlie?”
The cop said turning to his partner.
“Maybe it comes under tree molestation.” Suggested
his partner.
“Naw.” Said the veteran cop.
“Tree abduction?”
“Naw” said the hard-bitten cop.
“Should we respond?” Said his younger partner.
“F... it” said the older cop
who was just 5 weeks short of retirement.
“Now if it were a man or bear up a tree
that would be different.”
“Yea,” mused his partner, "shall we call it in?"
"Naw."
They then raced away to be someplace else.
