If You Do Not Want Taken Away Do This

If you do not want taken by the police, do this,
It has always worked for me, and I always persist,
I'm guilty! Take me, I scream, 
Running to them in a stream.
Lock me up, take me away, I must insist!

The policemen always smile and laugh,
Thinking I am a psychopath, 
they leave me alone,
and I go on home,
Another day to not do math.

I have myself on video doing this today.
In a dark place I have it locked away.
I keep it in my sock drawer.
So I can watch it evermore.
I love this dubiously silly kind of play!
