Pilot detective pitches

Raquel et Le Grub
Raquel joins the agency
from the chorus of the Folie Bergere
Grub gets saved from vagrancy
after Ecol Militaire
two Parisian cops at night
punchy, en pointe, pissant
doing their best to make things right
in the arrondissements

Clutterbuck and Piggs
Clutterbuck lives for bourbon whisky
Piggs is a dry ex-monk
Clutterbuck likes things nice n’risky
Piggs reads books in his bunk
Clutterbuck drives a 4 litre Audi
Piggs an 82 Buick
together they keep things real n’rowdy
on the mean streets of New Yuick

Katz and Doug
Katz is a psychic sailor
Doug a retired deputy
together they live in an airstream trailer
in the wastes of Thessaly
they spend their days on ancient cases
Doug using logic and jokes
Katz sees ghosts in unlikely places
in boiler suits and cloaks

Langley and Ylang Ylang
Langley works for the FBI
Ylang Ylang – Versace
Langley uses maths and pi
Ylang Ylang Fibonacci
together they run the numbers game
from Williamsburg to SoHo
and the closing quote is always the same
Are we done here? I should Coco
