The officer said,
Whilst eating a slice of bread.
“We’re looking for the guy,
Who threatened to kill a fly.
He is wanted by the police,
For not paying his lease.
He is very much feared,
With his very long beard.
He is roaming the streets,
With a bag full of stolen sweets.
We are looking day and night,
And not giving up on the fight.
If you happen to see him,
I will be at the gym.
Make sure you call 000,
And you are a HERO!”
