Sorcerer and Policeman

In a quiet town, where it is calm both day and night,
There lived old Sorcerer, great master of magic.
He could extinguish stars in sky and light them again,
Water flowed from his sleeve and turned into roses.

Near Sorcerer in this town
Brave Policeman did his duty.
He maintained implementation of laws,
So that life in the town remains safe.

And one day, in a small winding street,
Sorcerer accidentally collided with Policeman.
He put on his huge magic hat
And disappeared before Policeman's eyes.

Policeman remained standing in shock,
Not knowing what to do, whether to call for help.
But soon Sorcerer returned, smiling cheerfully,
And said: "It's just magic, don't be nervous!
Better let's drink to get acquainted!"

And they drank in one bar, and then in another,
Then they blared obscene songs all night,
And in the morning they met Minister of Police,
Who came to the town on a secret inspection.

Minister said: "I am not interested in Sorcerer,
Nobody needs him at all, he's just old madman.
But you, dear Policeman, you will be punished!"

In response, Policeman took off his cap and said:
"Lol, I'm not Policeman, I'm old madman too!"

So, Policeman and Sorcerer walked down the street
And in the end disappeared around the bend.
I wonder, what will happen, when they sober up.
Sorcerer will probably light up the stars again
And will give someone fake roses from sleeve
And will return the Moon to its place.
And as for Policeman...
We don't know, what Policeman will do.
