The morning paper brought the news
in it's own way with slanted views;
The slammer has been closed down,
the "office" now is found downtown.
Sherriff Jones has a new theory
he'll take no prisoners to query;
A phone booth has been renovated
just to keep the public sedated.
He passed the word and made sure
that it was sent from door to door;
He'd shoot first and save the cost
of boarding prisoners who lost.
Folks in Deadwood nod their head
and figure honesty is better, instead
of testing the mettle of Sherriff Jones
and his rickety old mean bones!
Although a few might laugh and say
he wouldn't fit in his "office" anyway!
And once inside, he'd not get out -
so there's nothing to worry about!
"The crime rate drops!" people shouted
as they read the paper, not having doubted!
Sherriff Jones got a commendation, too,
for saving taxpayer dollars (long overdue!)
