Sheriff Ain’t Doin’ Work

By up and coming hip-hop artist

wilYUM

There once was a sheriff who didn’t give a rip

Instead of fighting crime he sucked on his coffee like sip, sip, sip.

Poor little sheriff, maybe he scared, but where I was sitting it didn’t look like he cared

WHAT?!?!

I know sometimes sheriff y’all get a bad name, but where I’m sitting it’s folks like you that are to blame

I’m looking at it now sir you gotta nice car, but back home you wouldn’t even catch a glimpse of that charger

Maybe in the past sir you had a nice run, but man you wouldn’t-a made it in 901

No, where I come from regret to inform, you’d have be pushing papers at 201 poplar,

Waoooh!

I know I seem cold sheriff, but I don’t mean to scold. . . all I’m trying to say is

I don’t blame your distress, just glad honored sir that you aren’t in Memphis!!

OOOOOH!!

Wait, what’s this sheriff sir? Are You leaving already?

Has my flow gotcha thinking has it made yo heart heavy?

Honestly sheriff, if it has I’m glad, but just so you know I don’t think y’all are bad

No honored sir,

this really isn’t me, I love the police making the streets a safe place to be.

Now I’m sorry to this school if we get a bad rap, because I’m dissing police when I should be in class

I’m sorry mister sheriff this really isn’t me, but Mrs. Griz said go outside and just write about what i see!!

Good job writing this rap, it was fun to read. Very imaginative, never would have thought to do this myself.

Its sad but true, most policemen I've seen fit your description perfectly. You hit it right on the dot!

I don't think I'd want to mess with a policeman, not to mention one from Memphis…
You did a great job, William. (: I think it's awesome that you turned this assignment into a rap.

William,
This is an extremely creative piece. I love that you took the idea and ran with it! I also love that you were willing to rap it aloud for us in class. I think you matched the form (rap) with the subject (cop) very well. It certainly holds the reader's attention and is very engaging. Nice Job!!! :)

I loved the rap it was very inventive. You basically explained what I thought about when I saw unfit policemen eating more donuts. :)
