Why? Poem by Spike Milligan

Why?

Rating: 2.7


American Detectives
Never remove their hats
When investigating murders
In other people's flats.

P.S. Chinese Tecs
Are far more dreaded!
And they always appear
Bare-headed!

A open question-Why? Extraordinary style to show the contrasting techniques of detective.

Great portrayal of professionals in the same profession but with different nationalities. The contrast created by the poet evokes laughter and humour. Loved reading this poem which is now my favourite.
