Police - The Pied Piper Of The Barton Poem by Paul Warren

(For Ian Gregor of the Road Safety Centre) .
His time of forty years was wearing the police blues
Patrolling the state highways steering his way through
Then as custodian of the kids at the Road Safety School
Teaching our children so on the road they’re no fool
Some say it’s like herding cats to teach them so young
But the pied piper of The Barton has perfected his run

He has one of only three chosen to do the job right
There were 400,000 all to be taught to see the light
He was joined by others who started the new centre
To the kids who attended he was the best presenter
Now his time is at an end and he has now called it
But will be remembered as whose standard was set.
