Deceptive Detective



His manner polite, unassuming
He rambled, and slighted his grooming
He appeared absentminded,
so suspects were blinded
to murder indictments a-looming

Actor Peter Falk, beloved as television's detective Columbo, has died.

  1. The acting world is quite a gumbo
    Some stars are petite and some jumbo
    This actor took charge
    on screens small and large,
    known best for the rumpled Columbo

  2. While in truth he would shrewdly dissemble,
    a screw-up, no clue he'd resemble
    If his suspects but knew
    just who's fooling who,
    too soon in their boots they would tremble
