Police - Sweating The Little Things Poem by Paul Warren

These are the rules so get them straight
It will last one time but don't think it will be the debate
The rules are the rules so here is the call
When we want to be petty it won't matter at all

So it doesn't matter if you get it right
If they want you next time don't use it in the fight
The police spent time on the audit trail
So spend your time dotting i's and crossing t's for their mail

What we do in this world of sweating the little things
Is to make sure that 99.9% is not a pass that it brings
And remember results only count if you don't make the grade
Even if you do this kudos will even quicker fade.
