LAW & ORDER

Oh, the enormous amount of snow
worries our Prince George Citizens so.
Snowplows, graders, bombadiers and trucks with sand -
with flashing light I follow them and lend a helping hand.
Parking cars on snow covered streets is an offense,
a $50 fine awaits car owners who are so dense.
I fine and have tow trucks standing by.
Outraged citizens madly cry.
Husband and wife slipper adorned and pyjama clad
waving snow shovels - ranting, raving, mad.
Big thrashings they wish to bestow on me,
while towtrucks hook every car I see.
Italian snow plow drivers with muscles my protection,
just like Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator they will action.
I must say though, I will not be beat
I am capable of standing on my own two feet.
My blood pressure raised a few degree-
in my car again, it stabilizes to blares of Pavarotti.
Lunchtime - I am of to the swimming pool with a frown,
where during aquafit my remaining rage does drown.
However, I will here now say
I did not see the end of this sh....y day.
Kitty doo-doo and litter strewn in alleys covered with snow -
I have no pity with the sinner - tell him where to go!
Bestowing summonses on people, which they tear up in spite.
They chase their blood-thirsty pitbull after me to take a bite.
Then a stern lecture I give to teenage boys,
who annoy the neighbors with excessive stereo noise.
Inspect a fence that was built too high,
warn the owner - he has a sigh.
With a demeanour most ruthless, mean and wicked,
I pursue offenders with stiff warnings or a ticket.
Always a cool, brave front I display,
yet I am shy by nature, I must say.
I truly love my honorable occupation,
but more I love the citizens of this nation.
This was an extreme working day.
A stress relief is my computer play.
Refuge I seek and build a fancy background
but minus any vicious hound.
