The Psychology Cop

The New York Police Force is to be instructed in psychology. -- _News
Item._

One morn, as Robert Ristwatch Rice
Sped _Childs_ward for his midday meal,
Upon his shoulder, like a vise,
He felt a grip of steel.

And in his ear a voice there hissed
(With spirits fraught, and crime),
And something snapped around his wrist
That did not tell the time.

"I've pinched yer now! " (devoid of tact
Was Sergeant Fay). "For shame!
Yer Hun! I caught yer in the act
Insultin' that there dame!

"That skirt there in the showy lid,
And muff of classy fur. "
"My word! " cried Robert Rice, "I did
Not even speak to her."

"What's words to me, just froth and foam!
I'm a psycholic guy --
I lamp yer thoughts inside yer dome
With my subconscious eye!"

"Then you should know," said Rice, "I'm a
MISOGYNIST! " -- "By Gee!
That settles you! " cried Sergeant Fay;
"You come along with me. "
