The Italian Detective was standing near the Martello Tower
A crime had been committed as graffiti had appeared on the whitewash
A hunt was on for the people who had committed this terrible crime
But little success had been achieved by the local police forces
So Inspector Giuseppe Joseph was asked to investigate the vandalism
This was a masterstroke as he soon deduced that the artists
Had never attended art school as they were all self taught
He laid a cunning trap between the eighth and ninth holes
And the miscreants were soon caught with spray cans in their hands
But they were not arrested and placed in the police vans
As Inspector Joseph thought it quicker and more expedient
To throw them from the crumbling cliffs into the sea below
