Strong was he when in his prime
We watch in horror his sad decline
How could he fall from the pinnacle of success
To the dismal depths of this muddied mess
Once the champion of law and order
He now exudes such a frightful odor
That many fans are prone to say
He should just up and go away
The artwork might have been forgiven
But the stories were so badly written
With holes in continuity and plausibility
They proved to be his greatest liability
The plots were insipid and just plain lame
The dialog unfortunately was much the same
Once a Detective we could respect
He has been laid low from neglect
Can he resurrect his former glory
Or is this the end of the story
Of that great comic strip detective
Who has sadly become defective.
Sydney, Margueritem, Jumbobrain, thank you very much.
