Silk scarf and a napkin

Two hundred bucks in an envelope

Labeled lenore
5
"Maybe she shouldn't see this
6
She should never know,"
7
Said the widow's best friend anne
8
"I'll just take it and go
9
I'll give her the money later
10
Say it was in his shoe
11
That way she'll never find out
12
That'll do"
13
"Carmichael was a credit to the force
14
In everything he did
15
It's like we got a big hole in our side
16
Where he fit
17
If any of you officers
18
Would like to say a word
19
Now would be the time
20
To be heard"
21
"Thank you chief, I sure would
22
He was a partner of mine
23
He was always very careful
24
And played it straight down the line"
25
One by one the officers spoke
26
And the service drew to a close
27
He had no living relatives
28
But his wife who never showed
29
She just couldn't face the men
30
They all understood
31
They got in their cars and drove home
32
As directly as they could
33
"Carmichael you asshole,"
34
The new widow sobbed beneath her veil
35
"Shot down in the line of duty
36
Is this how justice never fails?
37
I wish that things were better
38
When we said goodbye today
39
But we had our share of good times though
40
Along the way
41
Remember
42
'Hey mr. las vegas
43
You used to be so cool'
44
We met wayne newton down at pebble beach
45
And you acted like a fool
46
But we both just couldn't stop laughin'
47
It seemed so funny to us
48
We left our luggage back in the room and almost missed the bus
49
That was a great vacation
50
Maybe the best of all
51
But goddamnit carmichael you're dead now
52
And I'm talkin' to the wall"
53
The force got back to normal
54
Carmichael was replaced
55
For one year nobody parked a car
56
In carmichael's space
