Grayson Favour
[Written with Matt Caliri’s ‘Chapter One’ contest in
mind but too many verses (presuming that ‘three
paragraphs’ also meant three stanzas)]
*
Grayson Favour, private detective
Whenever the law of the land proves defective
And somebody has to do something effective
Grayson’s a man with a private objective
Grayson Favour, a man on a mission
Apprehends villains, that's his position
The loss of his parents invoked that decision
He now pursues gangsters without precondition
Phenomenal wealth he inherited young
He found the ‘right’ people to linger among
Asked a few questions, turned over some stones
Located the killers and buried their bones
Community service or suspended sentence
Even when vicious thugs bear no repentance
Police, if they bother, might track them all down
But then they’re released in the name of the crown
Today Grayson Favour pays fullest attention
To those who he’ll offer no legal detention
He dwells in a secret facility that
Would even impress the man often called ‘Bat’
These gadgets and gizmos and high powered tech
Beyond any force with a state funded cheque
Will aid in the hunt for the one they call ‘Raptor’
But that, my dear reader, will need its own chapter
