Down at the station, the ex Chief Murl
Gnarled and craggy as a redwood burl
Hair slicked back like the Duke of Earl
The handles on his service revolver are pearl
Officer Liles an AR-15 he will unfurl
He’ll blast anything that moves ,even a squirrel
Before he puts it away he’ll give it a twirl
Up from the scene the gunsmoke will curl.
From both sides now, the epithets hurl
Around the police station the rumors swirl
At the press conference , Ex-Chief gets a bit churl
In his mouth a toothpick he does rapidly twirl.
McGruff the Crime Dog gets his referral
He’s a relic from the days of Milton Berle.
