Many times a woman will use anything at hand to make her point.

The Short Cut

Yes sir Captain, I just do what I’m told,
Leon, How long have you been on street patrol?

Well I think they were shorthanded, I’ve been here just a week,
Leon, I have to tell you, this report is far too bleak,

Your details are so sketchy, I’ve never seen one so, awful,
Fill me in on what happened here, accusations must be lawful,

Well sir it began when 911 got a domestic violence call ,
A woman knife attacked her husband, but sir that wasn’t all,

The man was rushed to the hospital and a desperate search ensued,
I was commanded to the scene, but no restraint was to be used,

The woman was arrested, but the victim she claimed to be,
She had rid herself of evidence there was nothing there to see,

She confessed to ditching the evidence near to where the violence started,
Our wonderful team of experts quickly found it and departed,

Now here I am in question, what laws did she break , ?
If she is the victim, what charges can I make,

Her husband John Wayne Bobbitt was carted into town,
He was yelling on the Radio something about lost and found,

He was lookin for a cutoff or short cut, it seemed to me,
Captain ,you better get some one else, this street thing ain’t for me.

Author’s comment--I wonder if Bobbitt’s wife qualifies for severance pay?

I was trying to think who John Wayne Babbitt was although that may was very familiar, when it dawned on me what you are writing about! And yes, your comment is funnier than the whole poem.

Old Mack the Knife, better worry when Mrs. Bobbitt comes back to town!
