GOOD COPS
REALLY DO CARE
To be a caring
cop, they're asked to do it all.
To be as wise as
St Peter and St Paul.
They're asked to
climb a twenty foot tree and
rescue a cat or a
boy of only three.
Or stop and fix a
stalled car on a busy street,
And document the
story of a stolen car seat.
They're called
upon to console the family that
just lost a loved
one, sometimes from drinking
and driving which
never should be done.
Asked to be
professional and show little emotion
At the scene of an
accident amid lots of commotion.
They sometimes get
spit upon and cursed, but must
remain cool,
because they are professional Cops and
must remain cool,
never looking like a fool.
So dear citizens
when they need your help and come
to your house,
don't make them feel like simply a louse.
A good Cop is the
best friend you could have, and they
only want to keep
you safe.
