murder solved

This is the story
of Old McCartney
a partner of McCartney
& McCartney  the firm.
He was the senior attorney
and a famous attorney
of  McCartney & McCartney the firm.


As he reached the gates
of his royal estate
he saw the gate-keeper
skimper away.
Now that was unusual
so the furious septuagenarian
brought himself to open the gate.

But he was unaware,
this was a plot and a snare,
where he was the unsuspectng bait.
A bullet was shot
which went through  his heart
and he slumped on the ground
clear dead.

the Detective then came
with  reporters in pursuit
the news like wild fire
was spread.

The suspects were summoned,
five females ,and a son.
Not  a criminal so  hardened
the son begged for  pardon.
Calling his step mother on the scene
He then spilled around all the beans.

They had hatched a plot with thoughts  of greed
 and the gate keeper ,to shoot the master agreed
It was a plotting in haste----no one was chaste
So all the three--- in the police dragnet
were now cooling their heels.

The inspector
and sleuth
were friends in their youth
they shared the applause and accolade.
The media anounced
they were better than hounds
and no crimminal would
they let escape .
