WORK FOR THE OLD BILL: AN ELEGY

for RB

I was pleased to see DCI Jack Meadows
find regular work on The Street,

Glad the Dales had provided a home
for PC Leon Taylor and Sgt June Ackland.

DS Phil Hunter has gone undercover
in London's East End,

But I would not go to Waterloo Road
to find the newly promoted Dale Smith,

And what of the missing and unemployed?
Where DC Mickey Webb? Where WPC Polly Page?

CID? How do you spell that then?
Reg Hollis nearly killed himself.
