Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Shelley Pleger for July 19, 2017

The bank is on fire

Blackjack’s desire

Rescue the Prez

Despite what he sez

Thru smoke and thru flame

This is not a game

A call for help

Not merely a yelp

Blackjack needs aid

Tracy not afraid

Keep calling I’ll find you

But need I remind you

You are still a felon

So there is no tellin’

If this good deed

Will plant the seed

Of redemption and gratitude

Or simply of platitude

The judge may go easy

Cuz youre not TOO sleazy

But you WILL do time

For all of your crimes

Enough of this whining

I’m tired of rhyming
