Don't forget to read the fine print the cheery looking barista warned me
I shrugged my shoulders and hurried away with my order
What fine print I wondered
You are not a criminal or a patient from an asylum
Rough around the edges
rowdy for sure given that your a cop
one of the finest according to my mom
But what could you have that is worth talking a second look
You read people for a living
You get rid of ****
Make the streets safer then the day before
You are the reason that children can come home to their moms
daughters do not go missing so often
boys stay at school instead of hanging around in abandoned malls, houses and parks
Her words continue to echo in my head tonight
I am trying to slice up peach cobbler and not my fingers
You are in the dining room charming away my parents with promises of always wanting to protect me
look out for me
and help me with my problems
But what about your own
Did you get divorced before
have anger problems that I should know about
An illicit affair with southern bombshell
Dope
too many DUIs to your name
A restriction order from 2009
Still pay child support

Ugh how do you even bring this up to a cop
