In Blue

The average police officer makes $55,000 dollars are year.

The average police officer makes 55,000 friends a year.

Bad friends

who will never back him up

when he needs them most.

Green friends,

jealous of each other,

who, ironically, only work well in huge groups.

The average police officer is yelled at

at least once a day.

The average police officer sits in a car,

waiting for his chance to be yelled at.

A good car,

made of steel,

with a bright light and a speaker for shouting,

"Pull over."

And an air conditioner.

The average police officer has a gun for self protection,

and a baton for the offensive.

The average police officer wears black

or blue.
