Yours truly

P.S. I'd sure like to get in your force till
I got through my training as Private De-
tective. I'd work for board © room till I
got a good start for myself.

P.P.S. I'd like to try it once I can prove
myself to make out good in a short time.

Well, there’s the story —and as the
gentleman says “it all happened different!”

THE POLICEMAN
THE POLICEMAN is the man who keeps

the universe in order,
Our guardian grim and democratic prop;
The chosen son of Justice and the Law’s
unswerving warder
Whom disrespectful people call a “cop.”

He’s a knowledgeable person with a logic
all his own, s

Which he uses in the interest of the Law;

And Lawyers fume with envy at his grave
and measured tone

While the Judge looks on in wonderment
and awe.

He checks the erring citizen and puts him
right again,

He chases thieves and tussles with the thug;

And he blows the silver whistle which he
wears upon a chain

As he claps them helter-skelter in the jug.

And when it comes to murder of the grim
and gripping kind, .

He’s invariably called on to preside;

He revolves the situation in his penetrating
mind

And he cross-examines everyone inside.

He photographs the body and he catalogues
the clues,

He measures up the footprints in the hall;

And then for relaxation while the problem
he reviews

He chases little boys for playing ball.

You'll find the rugged policeman is a decent
sort of chap

If you wish to buy a licence for your dog,

Or you’ve murdered Aunt Matilda and you
want to take the rap,

Or you’re walking round in circles in a fog.

By day you'll find him mooning at the
corner of the street

Or examining the number plates of cars;

While at night he chases bandits who have
chanced upon his beat,

Or he’s lost in contemplation of the stars.

If his appetite for duty tends at moments
to enrage,

If his homilies occasionally pall;

Remember then that error is the child of
every sage

And the policeman’s only human after all.
