Hidden vinyl Jawa style,
treasure holds a childhood smile;
Find it it’s like a fountain of youth....

To find out the secret of one Clark Kent --

Who spent so much time being spiteful
   When confronted with truth
   Completely debunking her sleuth
She barreled into delusions most delightful!...

Oh what a Sleuth,
Show some shame,
Oh what a Sleuth,
Lurk around,

Oh what a Sleuth,
Left behind,
Oh what a Sleuth,
It will be mine,
Some day, 
Sleuth....

Is it all just propaganda
to fulfill a carefully planned agenda?

Where do I go
to really know?

What is the truth;
am I a sleuth?

If I cannot trust the evening news,
I'll just stay home and sing the blues!

It comes to me 
on the edge of the blue 
a twilight scream from dusk.

A warning that
when the sun comes up 
enigmatic searches 
will thrust.

A hunt, 
a sleuth-hound 
An eerie lust 
to uncover the nights scream we trust...

Twelve envelopes 
    from the Department of Truth.

Gathered together 
    by a curious sleuth.

Though buried away 
    by a bottle of vermouth.

When Sherlock Holmes is solving a case
the villains footsteps he must retrace
He's such an excellent sleuth
and will uncover the truth
his detection skills truly are ace!

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...

This man was a sleuth by profession,
for belated honeymoon session
reached on moonless night eerie
lodge in mist of mystery,
searched the room for bugging contraption.

The law of attraction is a fraction of truth
Magnetic motion ensues a sleuth to view
LOA is only part way to the joy within You
Detecting inflection is the kitten's clue and
Relaying the play for your color of Blues...?
Is a Lion wearing Pink, on Her jogging shoes....

The consumate sleuth Sherlock Holmes
Hardly lacking the wit chromosomes
With the faintest of clues
To bemuse and confuse
Cracked crimes in the Welsh catacombs

I can't but dare to say the truth,
If I have a chance to rule the world.
I did rule at heart as a sleuth;
I can't but dare to say the truth-
When last did we have one like Ruth?
Who stood her gut when mix-up whirled!
I can't but dare to say the truth,
If I have a chance to rule the world....

Behind all eyes that lie
Are lips' gores trying to smile 
Nevertheless, it will be filed for a while 

Unlike the cry of darling Ruth
Who is just handling the truth 
And afterwards not afraid of sleuth 

Truly, words may paint thy mind awesome 
But with thy attitude, we see them  blossom...

I'm a poet.
Tell you truth.
Don't like me.
Say, I'm a fool.
Truth is a lie.
Love with my heart.
Said, "NO PART".
What is that word ???
Call me - ABSURD.
JUST THE TRUTH !!!
Sleuth of life.
Dog bite- alright.
A poet - doing life.

I have a secret that you share

There's no one else who has a care

We have an understanding that no one can see

Knowing ourselves lets us be free

They hide in shadow a listening sleuth

We look at each other an know the truth

What we have is more than worldly wealth 

At last we can be our true self...
