Dick Tracy

I'm a cop and my name is Dick Tracy. A lot of cops are corrupt but not me. I can't be bought just like Eliot Ness. Because of crime, this city is a mess. A Crime Lord runs this town and his name is Big Boy Caprice. While he's operating, there will be no peace. Some times I fight criminals with my fists and some times I use guns. This town will be safe for people to live in when my job is done. Yesterday I got in a shoot out and I killed Pruneface and Flattop. Taking those two down means that a few of the crimes will stop. Two months ago I brought down 88 Keys and The Blank. Citizens are grateful for what I do, they all say thanks. I have a wonderful family and that makes me blessed. I have a boy named Junior and a wife named Tess. I wear a 2-Way Wrist TV that allows me to communicate with other officers. When I bring Big Boy to justice, the streets will be safe again, that's for sure. (This poem is based on the comic strip that was created by Chester Gould.)
