Dinner at a family restaurant for a father and his son
Catching up on things they both had done
At a table near them, three men were being rude
Their language was considered by all to be quite crude
This is where my son came in to play
He happened to be the manager on duty that day
He had a talk with them explaining the simple fact
This was a family place, no need for talk like that
Having done his duty, back to the office he went
A few moments later, a server to him was sent
Seems that the father had invited those guys outside
My son was quite worried they might tan his hide
Out of the building fast as he could go
There on the porch he was treated to quite a show
The father had gotten all three against the wall
My son was now worried for the men after all
Did this person have a gun? How else could it be
That those rowdy guys were standing so quietly?
When questioned by my son the dad said not to stress
He was passing out tickets he went on to confess
Then holding his badge out to my son
He said, “It’s illegal to harass a cop for fun”
“They started in again after seeing you were gone
So I decided to handle this one on my own”
now let this be a lesson to everyone far and wide
An off duty cop could be close by your side
If someone asks you to keep your cursing down
Best to respond with a smile instead of a frown
