Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 30, 2012

Ah, to be number one on the ol’ message board

For some, it’s the apex, to others it’s abhorred

Such a race, for some, to be the one who’s first

Only to become the subject of scorn and silently cursed

Oh, what we endure for this brief moment of glory

But enough of that, let’s get to the story

The chief is down, a victim of foul play

The word goes out, someone will pay

But what’s this? Smoke curls at the chiefs side

Hopefully he put a big hole in that rat Teevos’ hide

Communications breakdown, man it’s a pain

An airwave takedown, now that’s just insane

No virus was the cause of this dastardly bug

Teevo, it seems, simply pulled the plug

Now he races across town, seemingly to seek redress

For what has become a really big mess

To the edge of the cliff we find ourselves once moreNever really sure of just what’s in store

So on tenterhooks we wait with our breath bated

Will our expectations ever be sated?

Thanks, M.M.M, VistaBill, mzkdad, Det.DD, Mike Curtis and margueritem, for the comments yesterday.
