                    Sunset Drug War


Have you heard? 
The Legislature has discovered that too many people are grooving 
  on sunsets
So they've passed legislation:
Henceforth the Sun will not show itself within ten degrees of the
  horizon, under penalty of law.  

And a man will be appointed to go out like an old-time lamplighter
With a long pole
To turn it off every evening
And on again in the morning.  

There may be an enforcement problem:
If they have to make an arrest can they find a jail
That will hold the Sun
Without melting?
