The Rosary Thief
The case is simple, Chief Inspector Japp!
Hercule Poirot will follow where it leads,
Employing grey cells in his thinking cap,
Revealing who planned theft of your gold beads! ...
Our rogue's ability to bribe a guard
Smells KGB. The motive? Who achieves
Advantage if an old guy who prays hard
Refuses no gold rosary? Not thieves,
You know, dear Japp! The chap who planned this raid,
The month before Czar Vlad sits down with foes,
Hopes Biden springs the trap this chap has made! ...
It will not work. This chap ignored Poirot's
Exceptional finesse connecting dots—
For Putin's who robbed Mary, Queen of Scots!
