I
Praying for peaceful stewardship of our planet
Praying for exposing the evil police dragnet
II
Police instead your stewardship of the planet
Plant not police where stewards ought to be at
III
Yet the year is pregnant, wild with birthpangs
Help God decide where Hell and Heaven hangs

Free verse
|
they come in day by day
some with vacant stares
while others pace listlessly amongst the others
some chatter to somebody I can't see
and others challenge the workers behind the appointment desk
for some kind of reaction
just now
he came in and wanted to take himself out with one of our people
he had the security guards running
police were called
the dragnet spread out
and a hold put on everything for who knows how long
last week
somebody ripped the sharp container off the wall
ran out of the building
chased down the street
it's more real here these days
than reality.

Remember Andy Taylor
And his sidekick, Barney Fife
Maybe the best show ever
In our entire life
Just the facts, ma'am
As Joe Friday used to say
Dragnet was the ultimate
Police show of it's day
Gentle Ben was just awesome
You gotta love that bear
He was as gentle as a baby
Covered in all that hair
Remember Gilligan's Island
Ginger or Mary Ann
Probably the number one question
That still baffles every man
What about Mr Ed
With peanut butter in his mouth
Never seen anything like that
Where I live down south
We all remember Flipper
The master of the sea
These are just a few of the shows
That came on our TV
Those days are now long gone
I hate they didn't last
But as long as there's a TV Land
We'll always have our past
