Brewster County, Texas, has got a cross to bear,
But it brought it on itself, since it put the crosses there,
"There" in this case being on the cars of its police.
At the cost of 20k they learned this had to cease.
They'd said they needed God's protection for the work they do,
Catching desperadoes and sometimes a buckaroo
When he gets too drunk to ride his horse out on the plains
Past the Pecos River where sometimes it never rains.
They thought those cute decals that they wanted to display
Would invoke the blessing of the God to whom they pray.
Kind of like they had obtained a godly imprimatur,
That would work the magic of a Christian Harry Potter.
They did obtain the blessing of their governor, Greg Abbott,
Whose support of every right wing folly is a habit.
But threatened with a law suit, they had to scrape them off,
Those cruciform decals at which some folk might scoff,
Though some Texas lawmen doubtless shed a tear
To see those lucky charms from their cruisers disappear.
