The Case Of Drug Pusher Bob Poem by Francis Duggan

Drug pusher Bob is behind bars and safely locked away
But four years for selling heroin doesn't seem huge price to pay
For one who has ruined many lives he's sold the stuff for years
His crimes gave rise to other crimes and he's left his trail of tears.

By the drug squad drug pusher Bob has been caught in the act
And that he had been pushing drugs for years by now a well known fact
And the heroin the drug squad found on him supposed to be destroyed
But rumour has it that's not so and rumour has travelled wide.

By the Police Commissioner such nasty rumours are angrily denied
Of course my men are squeaky clean and in their job take pride
And will the people who spread these rumours come and themselves identify
As we want to clear the law's good name and nail this treacherous lie.

By rumour mongers the law upholders have been dealt a smear
And that the Police are not so pure some people like to hear
The Police commissioner his outmost try to clear his men's good name
But nasty rumours once set alight burn to ashes of shame.

Drug pusher Bob is now in jail where he deserve to be
And those who helped to put him there of guilt ought to feel free
But rumour has it they have done wrong and they ought to lose their job
And if this be so then sad to say they too should be with Bob.
