Watching a show about murder and lies
My, how the stories do fly by

Excuses certainly do abound
In every single little town

It happens too often in real life
When people are under stress and strife

On television, solutions are easy
But in real life it can make one quite queasy

If only we had the ultimate power
To solve the mystery in less than an hour

Or better yet, for there to be no crime
Then wouldn't our lives all be so sublime?
