The Code of Silence

In the streets and alleys
Everybody knows that
Mice have ears and
rats have a big mouth
If you don't wanna dance
With the man
Get a slide with 15 pills
And a good quality can
Stay calm, act fast
And keep on the lookout
You gotta understand
What this is all about
It's not a lesson in violence
But, If you wanna truly
get rid of all of them
Learn the art of stealth
and the code of silence
You don't need a degree
From Harvard or Brown
In this godforsaken town
Just be wise, when you
See a cockroach or smell a rat
Make sure you always
Have at least a nice mitten
And a good baseball bat

Please, remember:
Don't do the crime
If you can't do time
Or be ready to lay in
In the back of a hearse
to end a criminally
stupid verse

I hope that you all
Will have a wonderful new year
And that Reading this
will give you chuckles
You'll be safe, and will
Not end in shackles
