The Broken Hearts Of Two Tykes

THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM.

There's one thing about being a Policeman that I don't like.

Several months ago I had to break the hearts of two tykes.

Their parents had a car wreck and died.

After I told them, all three of us cried.

It broke my heart to see their sad faces when I gave them the bad news.

It's painful when people learn that their parents are what they're destined to lose.

They were going to be put in a foster home because they have no other relatives.

But my wife and I have a big house so we invited them to come here and live.

My wife and I were childless before.

But we're sure not childless anymore.

We petitioned the court for custody and won.

My wife is barren but now we have two sons.
