I’d never be a good cop.
Daydreaming would distract me while the criminals got away.
I’d never be a good cop.
Memorizing lots of laws,
and I hate most things about guns.
I’d never be a good cop.
Giving people tickets and telling them not to do all the things that they want to do?
I’d never be a good cop.
I definitely don’t like donuts enough.
I’d never be a good cop.
The uniform just seems extra stifling.
I’d never be a good cop.
So why didn’t you just marry a cop in the first place and tell me to hit the road of other opportunities?

This is hilarious and lowkey deep! That line "Daydreaming would distract me while the criminals got away" got me!! 😆
Like this poem. It is funny. Especially the part about liking donuts.
You mind seems to be made up...almost... 😎
