Police - They Didn't Pay So It Was Rape! Poem by Paul Warren

One Summer's morning in the sand-hills near Outer Harbour
Locals heard a woman yelling distressed in her demeanour
They thought they heard the word "Rape" as clear as day
So they called the police to come out and check it out right away

We drove and parked it near the sand-hills and walked through
Until we came across a woman sprawled out still yelling too
She was naked to the world and we found her clothes strewn about
And she slowly put them on to help her modesty route

We asked her why she was yelling "Rape" so loudly made
It seems she had some customers that night in the sex trade
And once the service was complete, the group refused to pay
Shouting and abusing them they as a group walked away

When we finally worked out that she would drop the charges
If the group would come up with the money in lawful exchanges
As it was a civil debt that was incurred by the men that night
We left it for her to work out in a civil tort court fight.
