Since when do they hire 12 year olds as cops…?

Poem Artwork


Maybe its me, I am getting I guess old,


But when did they start to hire 12 year olds,


To patrol our streets, man, they barely shave,


Mommy still takes care of them when in bed with colds…J


 


If they are tall enough to see over the steering wheel,


I guess that is the only pre-requisite to getting hired,


But to give them a gun and send them out to protect & serve,


Everytime I see them drive by they get on what is left of my nerves…J


 


The local state police have hired themselves a very young lady,


Very short she is with a face of a cherubic baby,


I have to respect her for her toughness,


But to put her on the road to pull over drunks,


Seems totally crazy in New Jersey the land of maybe…J

I think for cops here in Ga. the first Question one the job application is, Are you an ex-jock failure in life who wants to wear a badge and gun, break heads and shoot people?
If they answer no, they dont' get the job

That's what happens when our eyes get old along with the rest of us;-)
They do look like kids;-)Tell Rufuz not to be jealous, no one can ever take his place!...

Love,
