LATE LECTURES OF THE NIGHT

On Monday morn round 2 a.m.
Ron heard the siren sound
and looking in his mirror said
“A Cop car, I’ll be bound.”

Now Ron was pushing eighty nine
so took a while to stop
and wondered what was on the mind
of this here local Cop.

Just where might you be going sir
in these wee hours of morn?
Ron thought a bit on what to say
and tried to hide his yawn.

“I’m going to a lecture mate
on alcohol abuse
and all the real sad maladies
it’s properties produce.

The deadly curse of smoking too
is surely on the plate
as well as dangers that arise
by staying out too late.”

“That right!” the constable spat out
and then he asked polite
“Just who is giving lectures sir,
at this late hour of night.”

Now Ron he sought to keep free from
the fickle fate of strife.
“I thought that rather obvious,
‘cause that would be my wife!”
