The cop yelled loud, 'You broke the rule! '
'Your truck was fast, don't play the fool! '
The driver said, 'Please check my speed.
Sir my truck is under limit, yes indeed
'Then show your license, don't delay! '
The driver gave that to cop right away.
'Now show me pollution papers too! '
Driver handed them all fresh and new.
'Now pay the fine! ' the cop then said.
'But why? ' The driver shook his head.
'Your papers fine and no fault at all,
But here is the catch that I recall—
You kept them all in a plastic bag,
And that, my friend, is quite a snag!
Polythene bags cause harm, you see,
So pay the fine—don't argue with me! '
