It was hot yesterday and into the night. When I got to work at 2230, it was still 85 degrees. And Now, at almost 0500, it's still in the high 70's. It doesn't make for a pleasant night in uniform and body armor. But there was still some action, and a new part time officer on afternoon shift. He was fun, almost a cartoon character of a police officer. And a fun drunk driving arrest as well.
Continuing from yesterday's Irish theme, today we have a Rannaicheacht Gheirid. More structured than the first Celtic poem, this one has a syllabic structure and rhyme sequence that while easy, gave enough of a challenge to be fun to write.
DUI Rannaicheacht Gheirid
The new guy
Isn't really new or shy
He's fun and funny to me
Cigar was big. Hair, bye-bye.
Warm tonight
I drive without a moonlight
Windows down, A/C up
Making sure that all was right
They passed me
Red truck, black car I did see
It would not stop for police lights
Thankfully, he did not flee
Drunk, drunk man
Disheveled hair and face tan
We watched you dance the drunk dance
With a warrant from The Man
Missed your day
And then the warrant your way
Three thousand cash from your wife
The money stacked high like hay
