Gotcha!
And away we go.
One purse snatcher in tow.
Another one to go.
Crime and punishment
TAKE DOWN
On my little trip uptown
I saw two security guards
doing a smack down
on one of the denizens of the downtown.
Snatched a purse, so they say
and it sure looked like this wasn't going
to be his day.
He did the crime, perhaps now he'll do the time.
Then after my visit to the bank
I came upon a a scene almost as rank
A suspect all whiny, cuffed and roughed
and ready for the old drunk tank.
The streets were full of incidents
for all the visitors to see
like some episode of "COPS" on the old TV.
See our fear and loathing in the land of plenty.
The day was far from subtlety or art
but still, we must all play our part
cause even on this busy working day
all the world is still a play.
