But the criminals are always arrested....

Trump On A Scooter

While Trump rode on a scooter,
He had come across a computer;
Quite confused,
And misused;
A detective looking for a looter.

A detective, with this demand lead,
"Your whereabouts fix,"
"Between four and six"
"In kindergarten and first grade", he said!...

Erratic police chases are popular
TV full of FBI agents
Fascinating entertainment today
Vice cops on fourteen shows
I am an armchair detective
Solving crimes as I eat potato chips and ice cream...

Gave it a good shot but it sure don't seem effective
Same moody old cuss
Hide ye ole blunderbuss
Could do himself harm though I'm no detective...

he will never leave you alone
if you do the crime

as through the evidence he combs

Always the first detective to leave his home,
gets quite a bit of cases on his cell phone,
wants to get the cases solved,
gum shoes needing a bad polish,
always using on the crime scene his fine toothed comb....

Well hallelujah!!! I've finally reached my objective
Under two hundred pounds, have a whole new perspective
Good for lots more years
Gushing happiness tears
Maybe start a new occupation on as a cop show detective...

Who has the timepiece? The cry goes up loudly tonight.
The all-knowing kitty keeps it moving, and out of sight.
I think it was on the mantel, I tell the detective Mr. Knight.
Kitty gives me a slow smile that is appreciatively bright....

As detective, I must be a hit,
Since I'm praised for my keenly sharp wit:
   Oftentimes when I talk
   People call me Sherlock,
Though they think my first name is No Sh**.

TV people take up oodles of my time.
They turn me into a police officer,
A detective,
And a forensic genius.
I solve murders, and mysteries
And save gobs of people every night,
Luckily I can do it from my recliner
With my dog snoring away next to me...

Inspector Sherlock De La Maison, betcha can't guess who this is
A bilingual mystery detective, he was quite a whiz
His loyal sidekick Dr.James Ergson
Was often seen as quite irksome
Good luck solving this extremely silly quiz
