AN: Ok so when I wrote this it was Christmas time. I just recently found it and decided to put it up… not really sure if it fits this category, but oh well. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I… holy crap! I just used the rhyming from the book, so I do own this! Score!!!


It was the night before Christmas and all through the house

The only creature stirring was an officer not being a grouse

Getting ready to serve and protect with care

Not needing much time to prepare

The streets filling up with the dead

And the only clue is a single thread

Finding a suspect with a long rap

Then planning to set a trap

On to the next scene, the walls covered in blood splatter

The officer looks at the victim's brain matter

A fight between two men resulting in a nasty gash

Killed by a friend for a few dollars in cash

Next, a woman killed by one large blow

The husband not seeming to care though

Onto the kids living in a home full of fear

Their dad does nothing but drink beer

He bullies and hits, he thinks he's slick

Man the human race is sick

Civilians think police work is a game

They won't tell the poor officer their name

The officer waits to see if there were trace toxins

So he can catch the killer named Coxen

Then he can move on to the barroom brawl

He got the worst call of all

"An officer down, Hurry or he might die!

He's been shot in the thigh!"

The officer had to help is fellow brother in blue

He blew through stoplights, others can sue

When he got there he couldn't believe his eyes, even with all the proof

He thought it was all a dream and when he woke up it would go poof

The hurt officer was sitting on the ground

He was making such a wretched sound

Instead of his thigh, he was shot in his foot

"Hold on brother stay put!"

He originally thought it was a serious attack

He instead thought the other officer deserved a plaque

"That thing is scary

I thought the safety was on, but found the contrary!"

"Well now you know

Anything else before I go?"

With a shake of the head, he was off through the heath

"I can't believe Keith!"

On to the next crime scene, with a lady from New Delhi

She had found something very 'smelly'

Indeed there was something on the shelf

A dead body sat there, he killed himself

He left without another word, left things unsaid

He just arrested walked away instead

Back at the station, the officer got to work

He listened to jokes from around the room with a smirk

He was tired and ready to go instead of interviewing all of those common Joes

With a quick glance at the clock, the officer stood and goes

Home to a lonely dinner of steak with gristle

Then he can let his dog make the bone a missile

He got home and turned off the light

Peace with all police officers this night.
