Going Back To Work

I’ve found myself a job
feeling quite impressed
my honesty was verified
by three FBI polygraph test
checking on my background
even before I went to school
may have had some fun back then
but I never played the fool
once again I’ll be joining
life’s status quo
soon packing up my lunch box
and off to work I’ll go
now I wonder if the sheriff’s department
will ever be the same
with me among the ranks
and a tag that holds my name

giggle

This is great!! Loved the idea behind this one, and the touch of humor, too!!!  And good luck on your new job.....

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

Helen - ooooh yeahhhh - Do you get to take your handcuffs home?  Congratulations on getting a job.

I can hear you now -

You have the right to remain silent
A Mr. Miranda you can thank,
Now where did you hide the money,
When you robbed that bank?

Let me show you my nightstick,
It's pink and it's brand new.
Oops, did it hit your solar plexus,
When I twirled it 'round for you?

Would you like a cigarette?
I'll light it with my butane lighter.
Don't give me any lip, sweetie,
Or we'll make this an all-nighter.

Yes, you may call your lawyer,
When I fianlly get off your chest.
I think I am a pretty good cop,
But its the Bad Cop I do best!


You go, Girl!!!!!
