Sleigh Pursuit Poem by Thomas Nedzbala

Sleigh Pursuit

It was the night before Christmas
And on this very calm night
Almost fell asleep in my squad car
When the radar unit did light

The speed was over 100
And it was climbing much higher
I radioed into dispatch
This speeder was a flyer.

Going south I told dispatch
We are going down the beltway
It was then that I noticed
I was chasing reindeer and sleigh

He finally pulled over
Back up set up a perimeter
Thinking back on it now
Should have considered his altimeter

We approached him and asked for
License, Registration, & Insurance
His credentials were valid
To this he assured us

We gave him a warning
for the excessive speed
he introduced us to the reindeer
to this no one would believe.

He said thank you to all
As he flew out of site.
Merry Christmas to All
And have a safe night.
