Dickless Tracy


Dickless Tracy


I would not stop for the stop sign -
Tho it kindly stopped for me -
The motorcycle cop gave -
Some advice to me for free -

Do not do that again she said -
In a stern and serious voice -
Because it is a law young man -
It is not a choice -

So I saluted and capitulated -
And promised never again -
While, in my head, the words ran free -
Fat chance, cutie pie -
Fat chance.

Actually, what she said was
"try stopping next time"
and I waved and said "OK, I will.
You never know, there might even be
some traffic there next time.

Hey, that last stanza is not part of the Emily Dickinson satire. The thing ends with "Fat chance".
Just thought you'd like to know.
