Dead Man's Game

A poem by Brighty
The dead man walks
After a nightly game
Jumped off a building
Such a shame
His best friend cried
But if only he knew
That the dead man's game
Was only a ruse
~
The dead man walks
After a nightly game
Solved cases and took no credit
Such a shame
His best friend grieved
But if only he knew
That the dead man's game
Was only a ruse
~
The dead man walks
After a nightly game
Was punched several times
Such a shame
His best friend threw the blows
But if only he knew
That the dead man's game
Was only a ruse
~
The dead man walks
After a nightly game
More cases than ever
Such a shame
His best friend forgave
But if only he knew
That the dead man's game
Was only a ruse
~
The dead man walks
After a nightly game
A wedding to plan
Such a shame
His best friend made his choice
But if only he knew
That the dead man's game
Was only a ruse
~
The dead mans walks
After a nightly game
Shot near the heart
Such a shame
His best friend cried
But if only he knew
That the dead man's care for him
Could never be a ruse
