Mystery Novel

Mytery Novel

Don’t need too many clues
You only have to look
Just eyes and ears alert
To write a mystery book

Eyes and ears wide open
Look up ,down and beside
Weave the clues together
Find where the culprits hide

They  hide away from view
Then try to hide their face
But in a mystery book
You never give up the chase

With dogged determination
You make the culprit slip
Once you start to question
Over lying tongues they trip

So if they do go missing
Culprits in time do re-appear
Maybe I’ll write that novel
I have names and faces here

Have to protect the innocent
As the mystery weaves a net
Its the ones with lying tongues
The villains we have to get

I could capture the mystery 
Witnessed many sitting here
I look at my reams of paper
Only takes those eyes and an ear
Hope
