Fire-Para-Medics?
.

It seems our trusty firemen, have not enough to do,

They want the Paramedic's job, and fighting fires too.

Before the politicians, hand over all control,

Here's some information, when the boys are on a roll.
.

Police cars can no longer chase, crooks can now go free,

Firemen do Everything, responding all code three.

Paramedics and Policemen, awake throughout the night,

While firemen get paid to sleep, snuggled in their bunks so tight.
.

Fire guys are useful though, through certain times of strife,

Making cars convertibles, with the Jaws of Life.

Or breaking every window, of a house just down the block,

Even chopping down a door, which had an unlocked lock.
.

Why is it that they do these things, one was asked one day,

Well my captain told me what to do, was all that he would say.

What did YOU ask the witness, one day asked Bill Pake,

"I'll have to ask the captain", Bill did a double-take.
.

They sure have great persistence, is one thing can be said,

Performing mouth to mouth, on a man just two days dead.

They are good for entertainment, great fun can be had,

If you hide your PC number, from the guy with writing pad.
.

Women like the fire guys, the calendar sells well,

Half naked cylons posed inside, their bulging muscles swell.

But the question you must ask yourself, when lying there half dead,

Do you want a Paramedic, or a fireman instead?
