William Schwenck Gilbert - The Policeman`s Lot
Work rating: Low

When a felon`s not engaged in his employment,
Or maturing his felonious little plans,
His capacity for innocent enjoyment
Is just as great as any honest man`s.
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
When constabulary duty`s to be done:
Ah, take one consideration with another,
A policeman`s lot is not a happy one!

When the enterprising burglar isn`t burgling,
When the cut-throat isn`t occupied in crime,
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling,
And listen to the merry village chime.
When the coster`s finished jumping on his mother,
He loves to lie a-basking in the sun:
Ah, take one consideration with another,
The policeman`s lot is not a happy one!
