It's A crime

It’s a Crime

 They say don’t drink in public because it’s a crime,

But I don’t have a home so I do it all the time.

Cop gives me a ticket, judge gives me a fine.

So I go to the corner and whip out my sign.

Guess who shows up, same cop as last time.

He says, “You can’t fly a sign. Flying a sign is a crime”.

“But you gave me a ticket and the judge gave me a fine.”

“How can I pay the fine if I can’t fly a sign?”

“Oh, by the way officer, the news said it might hail.”

“Never mind that, you’ve got a warrant, you’re going to jail.

“But don’t worry, you won’t do any time.

“When you see the judge he’ll just give you a fine”

“Here we go again.”
