The Closet Kids

.

In January things were fine, office space galore,

Room for storing all our stuff, a locking private door.

In short we had the B.R.U., and then it was approved,

To renovate the building, our office must be moved.

.

So then the problem did arise, where to move us to?

We looked around for office space, there only were a few.

Our sights were set on offices, the plans were quickly made,

Superintendant Marshall's, the one we would invade.

.

The best laid plans of mice and men, are subject to defeat,

When Trevor Jette found us out, we knew we had been beat.

So now we're being punished, for plotting overthrow,

We were pointed towards a little room, and told where we couldgo.

.

Now having been defeated, and resigned to meet our fates,

The Crime Prevention Officers, are newly made cell mates.

For our tiny little office, is smaller than a jail,

It's closer to a closet, or a box for holding mail.

.

But still we keep our hopes up, to see if we can find,

An office where the two of us, have room to change our mind.

The room is such a tiny one, we don't even have a phone,

And is even very crowded, when sitting all alone.

.

So if anyone is listening, please help us find a spot,

A place for Crime Prevention, where we can move the lot.

We promise not to plan out, further overthrows,

Counting towards our moving day, on our fingers and our toes.
