A poem by Emma Burlingame
When I was arrested, thanks to my old boss and
his whacked sister (stay tuned for some of their better email messages), there
was a very frightened little girl trying to make sense of it all back at home.
in short, this is what she came up with.

Everybody
knows we must
respect
our police.
Because
most of them
are
healthy, nice, and
neat.
But
sometimes
they can be
very, very
wrong.
Even
though people
think
they are always right and
strong.
Mean
people think it is
a
very funny joke
to have
their enemies
arrested
when they are
as innocent
as egg
yolks.

PS - there is a
wonderful drawing that I'll put up here when I get a minute to make it
digital.
