Guns and Hoses
GUNS and HOSES
A charitable fight
Police and firemen
Passing blows through the night.
Having fun. Drinking some.
Striking their punches hard.
Pow! Thud! Rolling eyes! Numb.
My, oh, my! Rugged sight.
Competitive punching.
First hit left. Next, strike right.
Good compassionate fight.
Raising money for blight.
Passion at home that night!
Nine months later, the sight.
Four firemen’s babies
Birthing on the same night.
One question still remains.
Did police likewise play?
Ooh, La! La! Fun. And games.
