So you cursed the cop that stopped you while speeding, <br /> <br />He spoiled your day with a monetary fine. <br /> <br />At an earlier accident he helped the causalities that were bleeding, <br /> <br />He got them all to a hospital just in time. <br /> <br />That Cop was doing his duty you know, <br /> <br />He has seen all kinds of crime and criminals too. <br /> <br />To be helpful at an accident he is not slow, <br /> <br />What’s more he has more than enough other work to do. <br /> <br />Family quarrels where violence prevails, <br /> <br />Faces of young children filled with fear. <br /> <br />I won’t go into the gory horrible details, <br /> <br />But it is that very same Cop that is called do you hear? <br /> <br />Rules are made by Governments and courts, <br /> <br />The Cop has to see that they are obeyed. <br /> <br />His is a job filled with dangers fraught, <br /> <br />He is always on the look out sometimes with nerves that are frayed. <br /> <br />So don’t curse the Cop that is obeying the law, <br /> <br />Be polite perhaps it is your life the next to be saved. <br /> <br />Give him credit for a job well done for sure, <br /> <br />An ordinary cop you are deep in his debt for you his life he braved.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cursed-cop/
