Dawn is not yet broken I am sound asleep

A rare night when I actually get some much needed sleep

Thump thump thump wakes me from my slumber

 What’s that I am asked its ok I say go back to sleep

Thump thump! I look out the window hard to see but there are people outside

I assume it’s another noisy neighbour scenario

Eventually through the fog of waking I realize it’s us they want to wake

The front door is opened to a gang of burly thugs dressed in police uniforms

They tell us who their looking for’ it’s not us’ I say they don’t live here

Of course they don’t believe us and ask to look around

They then apologize and leave’ a flat can look quite empty when half a dozen policemen leave

They go across the street and wake everyone in the block opposite ‘just to be sure

Half past five in the morning is not a time I like

If I wasn’t half asleep I may have asked to see a search warrant

You would expect that they had better ways to verify where people live

If they are not sure they could always ask google
