MULTI PURPOSE PEOPLE

Contributed by robert_edgar_burns on Friday, 9th March 2012 @ 03:11:37 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

I entered a country club estate.
Folks stood on a dinner table.
I was dispatched to a rattlesnake call.
I'd remove it if I was able.

But then I spied a coral snake
Underneath a dining room chair.
“What had I walked into” I thought.
I felt more like leaving there.

The creek had risen above flood height
From a torrential mighty storm.
Let's say that after a long drought
This weather was not the norm.

But when you wear the uniform
And a citizen calls you for help
You tuck your fears between your legs
And you tighten your gun belt.

And while they shivered on table top
I got my shovel and a rake.
Then I proceeded to remove those two
Most deadly of all snakes.

My next call was a gator call
On top of a chain link fence.
It had tried to eat two small noisy dogs
Who were some people’s family pets.

Some duct tape and some rope I used
Then I dragged it toward a tree.
And after securing that big boy,
I called the Game Warden out to me.

A herd of cows burst through a fence
And stopped traffic on a main highway.
I used my sirens and bull horns,
To scare the cows to their farm that day.

A Law Enforcement Officer
Doesn't only go after crime.
They are multi purpose soldiers,
Knowing not what will come next time.

God work.
I'd probably shoot the dang snakes.
Blessings, bro,

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
