Constable Benton Fraser Royal Canadian Mounted police

Does anyone remember the television programme Due South? Here is a poem I wrote about it's main character 

It always seems to be you and your wolf
Talking to each other
Solving the case together
Not a pesky kid in sight.

'Thank you kindly' is how you address
Any complaint or insult.
You may be Canadian
But come on please get over it.

What is it with all this politeness?
It just comes over a little bit weird
You Talk to your father
Whose murder you are here to solve.

Your senses are finely attuned
Always there in the line of danger
That sense of honour is more
Critical than your sense of living.

While the bad guys have guns,
And explosives and Knives,
Brute force and a ruthless will to kill
You however have your wits

Sometimes though I get the feeling
You would rather help old ladies.
The problem is they are just as likely
To be at the centre of the villainy.
