The thousand dollar bill didn’t matter no more
When Lizz got naked and lay on the floor
Er, wait, that’s another poem altogether
It involves whips, chains and lots of leather
Are we a finally to see
The retirement of Dick Tracy
For many years now he has been a dick
Once intelligent and young, now just old and thick
Many innovations he has seen through the years
It has been the most remarkable of careers
But now he is in the winter of his discontent
He looks back on it with a silent lament
All those years spent in the name of the law
Now he’s heading for his last hurrah
Oh, the trials and tribulations he has seen
They pass before him like a movie projected on a screen
A plethora of villains march before his eyes
All seeking to bring about his untimely demise
But of all the threats that he has had to face
One that stands to leave him in disgrace
Comes at the hands of one he would never suspect
One who has caused others for him to loose respect
One against whom he never could put up a fight
Was the one who could neither draw nor write.
