Your Days of Chasing Villains Are Over Chief

A Doctor’s surgery in North Adelaide For an examination for me to make the grade Perusing my X-rays and medical reports Sitting with the doctor with his ruling retort He takes his glasses off and looks at me So serious this will not be good to see Your days of chasing villains are over chief And so his diagnosis has changed my brief Assaults in the job has put paid To any operational work or escapades A neck fusion resulting from a parole This last years of policing no longer to be. © Paul Warren Poetry
