Sometimes your reputation precedes you in court. Don't believe a word of it, but I do like pastry.



Not Guilty this time

Sir your honor , I was just a little drunk; could easy pass the test’
Guess they needed to meet their quota, I was under arrest,

Offered the officer half my bottle. Boy, He had a fit ,
Reckon he was insulted , think he wanted all of it ,

Told him Sorry it ain’t the best , things been pretty tough,
You see, I ain’t loaded, ,cain’t afford the better stuff,

At the station I was booked for cocaine drug abuse,
But when they checked me over they had to turn me loose,

You see I wasn’t plastered when they drug me outta the Bar,
And they had these powdered donuts in the back seat of the car,

I’m fining you one hundred as a public nuisance and disgrace,
Judge ! , I only ate two donuts ! not the whole damn case!

A question , I have your honor , maybe you can answer it,
In the course of policeman training, Where do donuts fit?


And Judge don’t think I’m picky, cops ain’t paid the best I know,
But they could buy better donuts, those were stale a week ago.

"c'est la vie"

Cops don't buy donuts. They get them free along with coffee at places that think by catering to the cops to come by they will be safer.

Otherwise mistaking powdered sugar for cocaine was a hoot, and the savvy of your hero in court was cute.

Reminded me of what I told the judge about how the officer in the unmarked car pulled me over on the interstate for passing him on a lovely Mother's Day after visiting my mother with my car easily capable of much faster than I was driving, only about 80 just minding my business. I told the judge, "How dare you ruin my wonderful Sunday drive?" He didn't answer me at all. Just took my no contest plea and my money.

But just before, a young man who had ridden a motorcycle that he stole over a bunch of lawns while being chased got a tongue lashing from the same judge. I expected him to retaliate to what I said, but he didn't.

Hey, there, Tom ! Looks like you're hell-bent on earning a long "sejour" in the hot seat behind bars - including the one where you were first "drugged" - no use excusing yourself to the Judge about the public force not being well-looked after. Serves you right for drinking cheap prohibition liquer. Imagine complaining about gobbling week-old do-nuts. Guess what they'd serve you for the next twenty years - at the least, for your dazed sense of effrontery ! Once again you are incorrigible...but the guffaws are still muffled. Let's hope they'd break out in stitches the next time. It splits the sides, nevertheless. ENJOYED. Every good wish to the Boss-Lady as well. TW
