                                           The Crime Was Solved

                                     The crime was solved


                                     An ac•com•plice was involved

                                     The ver•dict evolved


                                     Thus –

                                     With the offenders’ fate resolved,


                                     The prison gates revolved

                                     As the men’s good names dissolved.

                                             Sean

                              Sean cashed in all he had to pawn

                              To move to the woods where he was drawn


                              To fish for trout up•stream to spawn

                              To use an ax to build his brawn


                              To sleep upon grassy lawn

                              And wake at dawn with robust yawn,

                              Seeing bucks, does, and little fawn
