Police Boats

There’s a police boat on the river
With a flashing bright blue light
Keeping watch to guarantee this week
That all will be all right.

For the General Assembly’s
Taking place at the U.N.
And if trouble happens, no one knows
The where, the how or when.

So the cops and even Coast Guard
On the water do patrol
With the safety of the delegates
Their one abiding goal.

Yet I cannot help but wonder
If they think there is a chance
That some bad guys would attack
Via that watery expanse.

Guess they’re covering the bases
For you never can be sure
Though those boats with police and weapons
Don’t make me feel more secure.
