Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Light Verse

You Gotta Be Kidding

Hey, mister Rent-a-cop,
did you see what she just did?
Oh, sleeping on the job again
are we now
Family ties is always good to have I see,
so I suggest you better go
lay the store law down
Lifting from the shop
is an everyday crime
Put the candy bar away,
and chase after the stolen items
Don’t let no freckle faced pigtails
get the best of you
Don’t let a twelve-year-old
get you in the I’m-with-Stupid news
Why are you still fooling around
tying your shoes?
Why is your walkie-talkie
still on a snooze?
You gotta be kidding me,
mister Police Academy wannabe
I didn’t know 
everything in the store
was for free

Darlene De Beaulieu November 15, 2017 at 7:03 AM Good point Freddie, a little girl should not get away with stealing candy bar. That could lead to bigger things to steal. Have a nice day my friend. Peace and love and joy to you always my friend.

Afzal Nusker November 6, 2017 at 6:05 AM I love the satirical take in here, Freddie. L&P~ to you.

Maria Williams November 5, 2017 at 4:30 AM Yes so right , some of these cops just would not have a clue. Well said Freddie. Love and Joy ...Maria

Debbie Duncan November 5, 2017 at 12:21 AM Good write, I've always thought about owning an AMPM/ seven 11. But then I think of things like this happening. Thank you for coming to read my The Girl And The Maze Keeper :)
