One went to direct traffic, and then there were four. Four strong police officers watching over me. One took home a lost boy, and then there were three. Three strong police officers dressed all in blue. One stopped a speeding car, and then there were two. Two strong police officers how fast they can run. One stopped a burgler and then there was one. One strong police officer heard some children say. We would like to be police officers when we grow up some day. http://www.canteach.ca/elementary/songspoems100.html
