Mississippi Delegation
After a night of fun, The man was clearly there
Dear Gisela went to bed. For both of them to see.
‘Twas a little past one They had quite a scare
When she laid down her head. And in fear they did cea.
 
‘Twas four when she awoke To the room next door
To see a sorry sight Where the parents were housed
In her bed was a bloke They debated some more
Boy did she get a fright ! And then Papa was aroused
 
She ran to Mummy dear He wanted to charge in
An act not often done. But the ladies stalled.
But such was her fear So they didn’t barge in
She needed someone. But their friends were called.
 
Her mother had a doubt Who called the gendarmes.
And dismissed it as a dream They came pretty fast.
But then she went out But now all was calm
And let out a little scream ! For the man had fled at last.
 
However some clues were left
Though the man had fled.
In his haste he was bereft
Of a necktie coloured red.
 
Dunhills were found at the door
And his hair was light and straight.
His socks were dropped on the fifth floor
These were the four clues great.
 
So come all ye famous marks
Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot
Sir Peter Wimsey and other sparks.
Solve the mystery of the Acapulco !
 
For only your clever act
Will ferret out the truth
And expose the little factt
To dear Giselas ruth.
 
Cheer up my dear Gisela
For right is on your side
We’ll find the littleweasler
So perk up and smile wide
 
And if you ever need a knight
I am always there.
Your enemies to bravely fight
And all intruders to scare !
