My reputation stank
as a private eye.
It was bad luck for business
'til she walked in,
and she laid out the case.
It was just my style.
I asked a couple questions
on time and place
and people and details,
and where to begin. It
took her a while
to bring us to speed.
I sent her out looking
for a bottle of gin,
and two specific clues
- which I thought
we'd need, which
she brought back cold.
She said "Let's hit the trail
now, before this gets old,"
so we did. She asked
do clients typically
come along? I said
it all depends
whose side
your on.
