I Broke the Law

I Broke the Law

A Poem by Roland Petrov
"

It was an accident!

"

I stretched the law and it broke

I wasn't on crack, I don't smoke

It just snapped apart in my hands

Put a damper on all of my plans

The right say I'm beyond the pale

To the left I'm a hero unjustly in jail

I say I'm just an ordinary bloke

Who stretched the law

And the law broke

Again, Woody was ahead of me. Many of us stretch the law, and most of us get away with it.

The law has to be interpreted. How about "I squeezed the law and it popped"?
