A SPRING POEM (PART IIT)

IS4 Seuce Creaver

I was out of jail, From ny second conviction. But I coundn’t help nyself, Crime was now an addiction.

I could feel it in my bones, I was going through withdrawl. So I raced to the phone, And made a collect call.

I said “Doc, it hit me so fast, Without any warning” He said "Take two ashtrays, and call me in the morning”

I said "C’mon doc, I feel like I could kill,” And then doc said,

“You'll want to, when you get ny bill”

So with that in nind, I took off down the street. And that’s when I did it, I ran over a lady’s feet.

I laughed so hard, While she was in pain.

She was a real funny sight, Trying to stand without her cane.

She said “Help officer” “He hit me and ran." And thats when it started, It started all again.

The cop was on his feet, And I was on ny bike. This was the kind of chase, I would really like.

I thought I had lost hin, So I turned back to see. If the big idiot,

Was trying to find ne.

I went down by the harbour, Actually just a port.

But that’s when he jumped ne,

And said “See you in court.“

Well I struggled and wiggled, Then I started to cry. And he let me stand up, You see he was a nice fuy.

He waved his arms and sai This chase was a humding But that was a mistak

Because I bit his finger.

He said "Hey you little “Don’t be so de And I said “Hey It’s the friend

jerk,”

The cop said, “Come on, you expect nme to belive Then the giant put his foot down, And the cop went “SPLAT.”

I said thanks Friendly, See you next trip. And then it dawned on ne, I gave the cops the slip.
