Mr. Glock committed a crime
its accomplice got away
It could not speak for itself
the defense attorney
entered a plea of innocent
by reason of no limbs.
The judge set bail in bullets
I had an extra magazine and chipped in
Mr. Glock was released with an ankle monitor
that it wore around its neck.
It was told to stay a barrel's length away from the victim
In which it easily complied.
After sentencing it was melted down
into a modern age relief
then put on display...
"public enemy number 1" it said.
Soon after, Mr. Wesson
committed a similar crime, with the very same accomplice.
He was arrested, the accomplice smiled at the security camera
and is still on the lamb.
He's considered temporarily unarmed and always dangerous.

The coffee pot is on the blink,
one thing I don’t have is time to think.
It snowed last night and I’ve checked my email,
however, sadly, it’s as slow as a snail.
I need to know if the store is open,
closed today, I’m really hope’in.
I’ve spilled my coffee, soaked my tablet;
disarray’s getting to be quite a habit.
The cat’s lost his breakfast and I stepped in it;
life is too challenging, wish I could sit
and in my recliner, sleep the day away;
but, then I wouldn’t get any pay.
My answering machine is filled to the brim;
those political spiels, I sure wish they would trim.
My security camera is now on the fritz;
someone took my wheel covers, and then quickly split.
I can’t even turn them in to the police;
oh god, I forgot to renew my lease!

Better Than a Security Camera
By Elton Camp
Most pictures of a robbery taking place
Are a fuzzy, blurry and show no face
It’d be possible to get better than those
If the perp would just willingly pose
Even post his own picture for all to see
How great for the police that would be
In Georgia, a man stole a cellular phone
Maybe took his picture after he had gone
But that phone was absolutely the most
‘Twas set on automatic, Facebook to post
A suspect’s picture it then did provide
So that an easier capture can be tried
Will there be a Constitutional examination
If he lost freedom from self-incrimination?
By the way, the story here is sure real
Google it if only imaginary it does feel
