Police - The Sherrif Poem by Paul Warren

They called him the Sheriff of the town
And they knew him as he walked around
A good footballer and cricketer then
As mean a man you didn't need to defend

I met him in the second year of my career
When posted to Whyalla town quite near
The local criminals knew him by sight
Knowing to tangle with him meant a fight

He became a detective in the enforcement trade
And a Legend in the South Australia police made.
