Cop On A Rest Break … [very Short; Police Officers Taking A Work Break; Eating; Donuts ] Poem by Bri Edwards

"blue-attired": dressed in a blue ‘cop's' uniform

"cop": a police officer, female or male; most likely a fat male cop?

"doughnut": also "donut"; a fattening snack food

"trough": a long, narrow open container for animals to eat or drink out of.

One definition of "slop/slops":
liquid or wet food waste, especially when it is fed to animals:
example: We feed the slops to the pigs.


Years ago, especially when the U.S. was ‘involved' in the ‘Vietnam Conflict', some protestors of the war, or otherwise disgruntled/annoyed people would harass police officers by calling them "pigs".
And there used to be joking about officers taking rest breaks, during working hours, to visit donut shops.

This poem was inspired by a few poem comments left at my recently-submitted poem:

Bri's Seven Looooong Days

.....in which I said I wrote a note on a police car window and was put in jail for it.Readers asked what I'd written.Of course I was making up a story and hadn't really written a poem on a cop's window!
