Herr - Rubs

.

It was a dark and dismal night, in the depths of District two,

Things had gotten quiet, the dealers were so few.

No crimes could we uncover, no places we could raid,

We all could be in government, do nothing and get paid.

.

Or maybe be a fireman, I'm in this way too deep,

But, instead of working nightshift, getting paid to sleep.

They found a new solution, Gord and Robin went to score,

They abandoned us in District Two, and moved to District Four.

.

Moving from the busy spot, to a life of luxury,

Summertime on Beach Patrol, in their thongs for all to see.

Their handcuffs they can throw away, it really is no test,

They'll look at us in wonderment, when we say the word arrest.

.

While we are running all around, with calls to come in store,

The twosome will be searching for, Latte number four.

And if perchance, alarm bells ring, they will barely bat their eyes,

Another call in District Two, it comes as no surprise.

.

Lounging down near Kits Beach, their feet up on the dash,

Coffees set beside them, peanuts in their stash.

They'll be sorting through their papers, stacked there in a bunch,

Arguments go back and forth, of where they'll have their lunch.

.

Despite all that! We wish them well, Gord and Robin too,

We hope that they remember us, their Squad from District Two.

While they sip their lattes, on a legal sixty-one,

We know they will recall right then, the action and the fun.
