A Christmas Mystery from Jemie

Jemie's Candy Cane Caper

On the eve of said Christmas it was quiet and chill,

I began heading home just down the hill.

At my doorstep I listened but all I could hear,
was town’s people seething loudly and without any cheer.

"It's a Candy Cane Bandit!” I heard very clear,

every candy cane in town had indeed disappeared.

All stuffed in a bag with a savvy sewn bow,
 whisked away through the snow by a peculiar old Jo.

A reindeer perhaps, but short to the ground,
 instead short and nimble,

not much larger than a thimble.

Through the town's streets I sled keeping steady in my plight,

and was able to thwart him without nearly a fright.

It was Harold my Yorkie who without any doubt,

had a fancy for candy and heading straight for hideout.

Harold's sweet tooth had been bad from his start,

but it was time to return it all before dark.

Alas, the town’s people cheered loudly with glee,

and Harold returned safely home with me.

Sorry old Harold as sweet as your tooth,

I must admit I enjoy a good sleuth.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Love Supergirl “Jemie”
