THE BATTLE OF BLUE AND THE GREY

Said Sergeant O'Rielly, it's been quite a day,
Both, for the Blue, and the Grey.,
I'm not getting younger, but what can I say,,
With things, changing more every day.
Once little old ladys were meek and so pure,
Too frightened to answer a knock on the door,
When the kitten went missing, they'd call a Policeman.
Now they're takeing the law in the palm of their hands.

Said he knew it would come, they've been liberated,
As he chewed on a donut and masticated,
Said, an incident happened the other day,
Where an elderly lady, chased four men away,
Claimed she "thought" they were steeling her own little car,
She became Annie Oakly, the didn't get far,,
She reached in her handbag, and drew a six-gun,
And the four frightened fellows, just had to run.

I was there on the desk, when the frightened, and fearful,
Maltreated men, blubbered stories, all tearful,
Of a roadrage, a hijack, of an old lady thief,
It didn't look good, as I typed up the brief.
And would you believe, as they cowered in the corner,
Before an arrest or before I could warn her,
That the little old lady carjacking thief,
Came up to my desk saying "What a relief."

Saying " thank God that we have such speedy police",
Just lock up those thieves, don't give them release.",
Of course when we straightened, the whole matter out.,
She realized the men were not thief, hoon or a lout.,

And the law set her loose once again on the day,
Cause she mistook their car as her own, they say.
And now I've read on the fax machine,
Of another grey matter even more obscene.

You know in Berloit, they've got, " Citz. On Patrol"
I've read something now, made my eyeballs roll,
They sent two "Old Dears" in a Beefy Squad Car,
To redirect traffic, by a bit of a "jar",
And of course, I suspect, things went to their head.
And they turned on the sirens by mistake they said,
And two little old ladys like loonies they spead,
And crashed after running red lights it's said.

I know things are changing , change always comes they say
Who could predict a problem with the Blue and the Grey.
