Policeman

This is a car driving down the street

Here's a policeman walking his beat

Now he is checking the stores at night

To see that the stores are locked up tight

And this is the friendly traffic cop,

Who tells the cars when to Go and Stop!

When cars get in a traffic jam

He helps them better than anyone can.

The Mail Carrier

See the mail carrier

Dressed in blue

He's walking, walking, walking

Do you think he'll bring to you

Some postcards and a letter too?
