365 Poems in 365 Days: Mystery Protegee
To my brilliant protégée, Miss Lacey Lee
I see your career progresses satisfactorily
However you investigate far too happily
Detectives today need to be grim and broody
Or else annoy everyone by acting quirkily
Not be a pleasant, well adjusted young lady
Do you not have a dark secret in your history?
I enclose a very intriguing obituary
Of a fellow who died most peculiarly
Which I hope will tickle your thinking fancy
Your sincerely Michael Villefort, PhD
