We Love our Geriatric Murder Mysteries

 

We love our geriatric murder mysteries:

Father Brown with his parcels and brolly

Columbo and his rambling histories

Inspector Barnaby and Troy, by golly

 

Jessica Fletcher writing novels Down East

Good Doctor Sloan solving crime on the beach

Ben Matlock who thinks hot dogs are a feast

Poirot and Miss Marple, teacups in reach

 

Typewriters, file folders, and telephones

And hidden behind a wall –

                                              the victim’s bones!
