IT AIN'T EASY BEING MEAN
I went to a quaint English village
Intending to murder and pillage
My plans were in vain: I met Miss Jane
Even got stuck with the billage
Then I went to the Florida coast
To turn an insured business to toast
Wouldn’t do, you see. There was McGee
My client wanted me for the roast
Next I went to the city called ‘Frisco
To run a scam as smooth as Crisco©
But I got played by the man, Sam Spade
Haven’t felt so clumsy since disco
No matter where I go when I travel
Someone’s there and my schemes unravel
I’m just not good at being a hood
I’ll stick close to home and play Scrabble©
This was great....it sure ain't

Too many fiction sleuths are going to take the fun out of crime.
