As a new week begins we take our measure
And indulge ourselves this guilty pleasure
To Tracy we turn with bated breath
Hoping the detective has met his death
An honorable death for us to see
Is better than this monstrosity
That has trapped this comic strip hero
And reduced him to a big fat zero
Today we are treated to much the same
Insipid artwork and the dialog’s inane
The little things we see can be overlooked
But the mistakes seen here would fill a book
These are not errors of minor commission
But the sins of ineptitude and endless repetition
Other old strips have been retooled and been reborn
But the chances of that happening here are very forlorn
They say that old wrthgs never learn
So come tomorrow I shall return
