Don't Hang Up the Phone

by QC Poet

Hey, it's me, Don't Hang Up the Phone!
I called to tell you I made it home,
From walking these streets at night which aren't safe to roam,
Where mysterious dark silhouettes pop out like an evil gnome!

A passing patrol car did stop me though,
Asking me "where is it you're heading to go?"
I replied "home from my girlfriends she lives a few blocks over!"
"There's no need to delay you and your drug sniffing rover".

The cop replied "my computer says your curfew's at midnight",
"You got ten minutes to make this right",
"Start walking I'll follow, stay in the line of my sight!"
I had to hurry to put an end to this discouraging plight!

Babe, he followed slowly as I quickly walked to my house,
Stalking me halfway he shouted "three minutes left "Violation of probation" threatened this louse.
Foothill Division's way to make arrest numbers look deft.

I beat the clock before he madly drove off,
I waved good bye as he did scoff!
I'm now out of breath and tired too,
Just couldn't sleep tonight till I called and said "good night I Love you!"
