Just A Gumshoe (Part 2)

He'd been hired by her old man!
The money was good
And there was plenty of it!
It seemed buddy had the idea
That his wife was foolin around on him
Which in itself was something
Trouble was...
He had decided a long time ago
(Around about the time that
Suzy, his new Exec. assistant,
had strolled into his life...)

He had decided,
That the first 'little woman'
Had to go, one way
Or another

And so...
It began
The investigation that is...
He'd been hired by her old man
To paint a dirty picture
To dig up dirt that he
Was convinced was there...
Somewhere...
'Start' he had said...
'With her poetry chat room
She's on there for hours a day! ! '

So...
He watched at first, and it was painful
Not being the artsy, fartsy type himself
It was all he could stomach to read some of this drivel! !
'Love this...life that...suicide... smattered here and there'
It was as painful
As having bamboo slivers
Shoved under fingernails
With a manicure thrown in
As insult to injury! !

Two weeks into the job
He'd gotten to know her patterns fairly well
Friday nights, day time hours
She had some friends on there
And they read each other's poetry
But he had a tough time
Finding anyone special
In her life
So he decided to push the envelope...
Just ever so...
