Followed By Cop
When you're followed by a cop
you get nervous
You imagine all kinds of infractions
laws broken that you did not even know of
every time you look up
there he is in the rear-view mirror
Did I miss a stop sign?
did I run a light?
did I hit someone?
why is he staying behind me.
When I turn, he turns
is he following me on purpose?
He is so close
any minute I expect him
to turn on his flashers
should I just pull over and wait for him
or should I make a run for it?
flee across that parking lot
hide in the dumpster
then he suddenly pulls into
a convenience store
and finally leaves me alone
they must have had a Special
on donuts.

A friend of mine was a football (soccer) referee. He told me that if you refereed a match involving a police team and gave some decisons they did not like, your car was followed all the way home by officers looking for some motoring offence! They never stopped off for donuts, as far as he knew.
