[ti:The Events Leading Up To The Collapse Of Detective Dulllight]
[00:00.710] There was jello in the fingerprints detective dulllight discovered
[00:02.090]
[00:03.050] It proved to be the most important finding in the case
[00:04.990]
[00:05.870] And where as detectives slocks and slovits
[00:07.620] Slobbered over smutty photographs
[00:08.840]
[00:12.260] Dulllight had a better lead to follow
[00:13.480]
[00:14.390] He followed the ringing to the telephone where a voice asked
[00:16.840]
[00:17.350] Excuse me aren't you so and so
[00:19.310]
[00:20.330] Oh so and so since you left I have been eating only sweets
[00:24.040] Cause they remind me of you
[00:25.930]
[00:26.830] He felt this surely was a clue
[00:27.990]
[00:28.590] So he climbed into the tub wearing his underwear and overcoat
[00:31.250]
[00:32.090] Jumped aboard the model boat and followed the water down the drain
[00:34.990]
[00:35.670] In his brain there are file cabinets
[00:37.920]
[00:38.590] And secretaries filing their nails downstairs
[00:42.610]
[00:44.150] But I don't want to talk about that room downstairs
[00:46.270]
[00:47.290] At this moment detective slocks and slovets
[00:49.660] Realize that since they had reported on the crime scene
[00:52.070] This morning each of them has aged over fifty years
[00:54.300]
[00:55.530] Two butterflies land on their shoulders and harmonize softly in their ears
[00:58.610]
[00:59.930] Where did all the time go
[01:01.820]
[01:03.720] Did you think that you'd stay young forever
[01:07.970]
[01:09.300] But at least you're still together
[01:13.550]
[01:15.270] The held hands in the moonlight
[01:16.380]
[01:17.240] The butterflies flew away which prompted slovit's to say
[01:19.680]
[01:25.120] Slocks removed a fountain pen from his breast pocket
[01:27.150]
[01:27.850] Drove it deep into slovit's throat and began screeching
[01:30.020]
[01:30.940] Death to the parchment whale the robot I am lasaile
[01:35.630]
[01:37.240] While in prison slocks wrote one of the most revered exercises in free verse titled
[01:41.450]
[01:42.020] The cause of gauze oh the cause of gauze
[01:46.130]
[01:46.780] The manuels have fondled many memories from my lap though
[01:51.350] Each memory has its own lap and swimmers swim laps
[01:55.640]
[01:56.960] Even swimmers have laps however and while in that
[02:00.700] Condition many require a delicate gauze
[02:04.380]
[02:05.220] I desire only this in my decrepitude
[02:08.420] That I will have one more opportunity
[02:10.940] To serve as a gauze for my fellow man
[02:13.340]
[02:14.530] And that in that state of gauze can somehow disturb
[02:17.780] The world less often with my prickly fingers
[02:21.210]
[02:22.530] When detective dulllight returning from the catacombs
[02:24.320]
[02:24.960] First heard the news of the slocks and slovets
[02:27.110] Stabbing and subsequent poetry enterprise
[02:29.460] He immediately fell to the floor and began plucking peaches from his cheeks
[02:33.040]
[02:34.910] This eventually became a tiresome activity
[02:36.070]
[02:37.020] So he evaporated into the cream a float a child's bedtime coco
[02:40.610]
