C.C.Uh-Oh

.

The Serbs were marching quietly, with their rent-a-crowd,

Shania Twain rehearsing, her music not too loud.

Just finished up with roll call, Crowd Control all set to go,

In case they should be needed, somewhere to save the show.

.

Several, extra-large policemen, in all their gear were clad,

Jumped aboard the elevator, to deal with crowds gone bad.

Jammed inside that little room, crammed in like sardines,

We all know our elevators, are the best, well tuned machines.

.

When suddenly it happened, it hesitates, then stops,

Between two floors, they now were stuck, all those C.C. Cops.

Jammed in so tight, they could not turn, or even move around,

Hoping it would not be long, before they got to ground.

.

The minutes ticked so slowly by, the heat was building fast,

Sweating in that heavy gear, how much longer could they last.

Some calls were made to radio, could someone set them free,

But keep it secret, would you please, nobody needs to see.

.

On the grapevine, just like lightning, the word was quickly spread,

The plight now facing C.C.U., and their rescue now ahead.

News media were gathered, the lobby soon was packed,

To see the rescue method, and get those boys untracked.

.

Finally, they were released, sweat soaking through their gear,

Now they had to face up to, a policemans greatest fear.

The ultimate indignity, we have faced since way back when,

For C.C.U. were rescued by, The Vancouver Firemen.
