I gloomily sit here and contemplate
The sad downfall that is Tracys’ fate
Once the detective was held in esteem
Now those days are but a dream
We now have come to expect
Panels that are filled with dreck
Surely there has to be
An editor with eyes that see
And an ability to comprehend
That Locher has gone off the deep end
Todays strip in neither exciting or intriguing
In fact it comes across as very fatiguing
The cops should all still be there
But the writer seems not to care
That they would disappear without a trace
Were they really that easily to erase
We the readers are not dumb
But I fear our minds are becoming numb
Daily we are now assaulted
By work some claim is exalted
But from storyline inconsistencies
To characters unintentional deformities
The strip has become a laughing stock
Is it soon to be on the chopping block.
