Just One More Thing
His famous line
Always makes the villain swim
Speaks from dark wavy hair
They wonder why, preoccupied
He drags the murderer out
Crumbled pristine
Upon the scene
Polite with anorak
Of brown and cream
Evil geniuses come unstuck
When he pulls up
In the motor, clunk
His classic pile of junk
No motive and missing clues
His demeanour leads one to think
He knows not what to do
Rolls up with his squeaky clink
Bear with me one second.
After the grisly scene
See what you make of this
And, do you know what you mean?
Their social hints ignored
Smoking in his old French car
Swave stupidity and delivery makes them bored
Chugging on his cigar
Not a stylish guy
He’d still catch my eye
But he loves his misses
And would never try
You can almost hear
Their brains scream and shout
I love it as he makes his move
Victims unaware; he’s smooth
There is no where they can hide
Like a hound
He hunts them down
Then emotionally hammers
Them into the ground
Ah the gotcha moment
If they only knew Columbo’s head
As, into his trap,
They always tread
Then the violins come in.
The End.
