Sirens! Flashing blue!
Run! The police are on to you!
Ah, they’ve gone past. Phew.
Clever endeavour
As Morse inquires his way round
Oxford’s dreaming spires.
Doing A Stretch / Not
At Leisure / Detained At His
Majesty’s Pleasure.
Lawyers, we are told,
Never feel old, but may feel
They’ve lost their appeal.
Stories leave juries
Unconvinced, when burglars
Leave their fingerprints.
Turning informer
To save his skin; he snitched and
Dobbed the others in.
His case was poor he
Told a story disbelieved
By judge and jury.
