Police in Maine make poetry calendar [US]:
At first, officers rolled their eyes at the idea. Some even recited lewd poems for a laugh.
But the attitude changed last spring after a respected sergeant, Rob Johnsey, was killed when his service weapon accidentally discharged while he was cleaning it. At his funeral, mourners learned that Johnsey wrote poetry.
That's when the idea for a calendar was born. Not only would it serve as a poetic outlet, it would also be a fundraiser, with proceeds going to Johnsey's family.
