Five Strong Police OfficersFive strong police officers standing by a store.One went to direct traffic, and then there were four.Four strong police officers watching over me.One took home a lost boy, and then there were three.Three strong police officers dressed all in blue.One stopped a speeding car, and then there were two.Two strong police officers how fast they can run.One stopped a burgler and then there was one.One strong police officer heard some children say.We would like to be police officers when we grow up some day. http://www.canteach.ca/elementary/songspoems100.html
