Off Duty

by Flying With Broken Wings   Dec 14, 2006


My grandmother alwyas sid that
As long as the first floor of the house is clean
Then she can go to sleep content.
Her reason:
"What if a cop showed up in the middle of the night?
Would you like him to walk into a messy house?"
The cops would never really show up though,
At least not when they were on duty.
My grandfather was on the police force
And he worked until the late hours of the night.
So really, cleaning the house just meant
That my grandfather could go to sleep
After havin a Bud Light and a cigarette on the front porch.
