Inspector White took half an hour
to bring the man to trial.
Mr. Jeeves of thirty-three
stood in the dock and smiled.
“I’ll admit to nothing, sir,”
he said when asked his plea;
the trinkets in my house were all
just given me, you see.
“The watch you found of diamond face
for services I rendered:
the rings and necklaces of jade
were pay for bills I tendered.
Every bit of jewelery,
when pushing comes to shove
was given me by ladies:
I think, therefore I love.
