My favourite detective, I have to choose,
To do so, I let my mind go loose!
Of the many sleuths out there,
Who is that one, I most care?
I pondered, wondered!
The many choices I numbered!
Of them I selected a few,
Then zeroed in on Nancy Drew!
She is shrewd, she is smart,
All the criminals she will thwart!
She is bold, she is bright,
Its real hard to give her a fright!
My hero she was, from when I was ten,
She solves mysteries, every now and then!
Never does she give up and accept defeat,
She always does accomplish every feat!
The Mystery of the Hidden Staircase,
Is my all time favourites!
She puts her life in the brink of danger,
Page by page, the plot just gets stranger!
To help old Miss Flora, Nancy does strain,
Coz to see the old lady in distress is really a pain.
The ghost appears and disappears with not one clue,
Nancy has to struggle indeed, phew!
The necklace gets stolen,
So is food from the kitchen,
Is the ghost the thief as well?
Is the dingy Comber involved in this spell?
Nancy’s dad is then kidnapped,
Coz Comber wants the railroad project to be scrapped.
Are these part of very same plan?
To find this, investigation Nancy began.
Her determination, I very much admire,
Her willingness to take risks, I do aspire!
Her timely thinking I do adore,
Reading her adventures is never a bore!
I wish I was at Twin Elms, snooping around,
To help Nancy, and witness the ghost being found!
To find the secret outlets, and the secret stairs,
To rescue her dad, and bring smile on Miss Flora’s face!
Many detectives sure do rock
But the one I most fancy,
Will forever be Nancy!
