JUST ONE MORE QUESTION
If you, in my town, murder do,
Be assured, I’m on to you.
I’ll park my carcass at your door,
Making queries by the score.
Every time you turn your head,
And think you’re free, I’m there instead.
I gather up the evidence,
At the scene or residence.
I’ll dig and scratch for every clue,
And drive you nuts before I’m through.
Though my appearance seems disheveled,
To your freedom, sights are leveled.
Rumpled raincoat, unlit cigar,
Tousled hair, crummy car.
Compared to you, I don’t impress,
But I have come to make arrests.
I solve each case that I’m assigned,
A record that can blow your mind.
There’s just one thing I’ve sadly noted.
I never seem to get promoted.
Signed, Lt. Columbo

Poor guy had Alzheimer's, which is different from dementia.
I was sad the other day to hear that Clarence Clemons died. He was the original and only sax player for the E Street Band and was with Bruce Springsteen for 40 years.
But we still have the music :)

Years ago when I was young, I worked in the L.A. area, and I was driving back to work from running an errand. I was on the Hollywood Freeway right where it gets to Studio City. My car was having trouble, so I coasted off the freeway ramp and onto Ventura Boulevard near a gas station. I was standing outside my car in the center divider when Peter Falk pulled up behind me and asked me if I was OK. I said yes, I am. He smiled, waved and pulled off. I'm sure he would have helped me if I said I needed it. I always enjoyed Columbo. His subtlety was a marvel!!
