then he buckles on his gun

which way to hop

her man was not a cop.

His day was spent in planning

for the raid to come that night

She warmed the meatloaf up

each policeman knew the plan

The white stuff made
F

a million dollar haul

Doing work that never was much fun

Not just pounding beats
and writing tickets

More and more their work requires a gun
