I know, I'm post-happy today. Anyway, this was an English assignment where we had to create someone who went on the pilgrimmage to Canturbury in Chaucer's "Canturbury Tales." And write it the way Chaucer did. I chose to do a detective. It's not hard to figure out which one. ;-) It ends in an odd place because I didn't know what else to say and it was plenty long enough anyway.

Also with us there was a detective
whose skills with his mind were very effective
he was younger than most I've seen
but no one better has there been
and the country he was well-known
he could find someone with only one clue shown
his hair was short, curly, and light
and he wore a shirt of red and white
his frayed denim jeans were blue
his shockingly bright eyes were too
his overcoat was long and of leather
with his cap he was ready for any weather
his mouth was apt to laughter and jokes
he could take an insult unlike other folks
his specialties were wit and charm
but he could easily break your arm
he would flirt with the ladies at the drop of a hat
but it rarely got much farther than that
he often rushed in without a thought
it got him into trouble more often than not
his voice was smooth and good to the ear
it made you feel better if you were near
he could hear a lie from at least a mile
and could cheer you up with only a smile
he never let logic and facts hold sway
he went with his instincts all the way
he was very strong and athletic
but he didn't like to lose which made him pathetic
he always thought of others first
but if he got mad he was the worst
if he should need the help of another
his own partner was his brother
