Blind Justice, The Saga in Limerick

Episode 1: PILOT

Detective Jim Dunbar was back on the job.
On his very first day he was met by a mob.
The day was exhausting-
But at home came the frosting,
When his lovely spouse, Christie, had missiles to lob.

"Back on a case?" she retorted. That jab hurt his pride.
Didn't she know to just be by his side?
A warm kiss and a squeeze
Would have helped to aleve
All that tension and stress that was churning inside.

"You're going to do this now?"
(Please Christie, don't have a cow!)
I've had a rough day
I just want to play
Instead I come home to a row.

The perp's name was Randy
His hair, it was sandy
He underestimated Jim
His blindness won't stop him!
Was one of his victims named Mandy?

Jim solved that first case in the blink of an eye
And pissed off ol' Marty, who was not a nice guy.
He'd make Jim's life a trial-
Barely cracking a smile.
Their head butting would only in-ten-si-fy.

Randy Lyman the tongue-freak is gone
And Karen has learned Jim's no pawn.
But he still wants to know
Her eye color, so
She says "Brown" . . . and he smiles and walks on.

End of Pilot

Episode 2: FOUR FEET UNDER

In the second episode, Four Feet Under
Jim Dunbar committed his very first blunder.
Marty can't let him forget
That he dug up Lloyd's pet.
Was he going to fail now?, we had to wonder.

A trip to the good Dr. was on tap for this day.
But it couldn't interfer with a party with Clay.
He changed the appointment
To Fisk's disappointment.
But promised to keep it, the following day.

Jim went to Clay's party that night.
To stand all alone was his plight.
Clay made his advances
Jim jumped at his chances
His beer in Christie's lap led to their fight.

Only the second episode and the second big fight,
Gave us a picture of the Dunbar's marriage plight.
His infidelity was spoken
How his marriage vows had broken.
He'd better get used to the couch tonight.

Tom and Marty had another perp in mind
But Jim and Karen, the real perp they'd find
They grilled Crider's wife
Got him thirty to life
And it was evident Jim could do the job blind.

But his achievement was soon bittersweet
Arriving home to hear of Christie's retreat
He walked to the park
Sat alone in the dark
And a fade to black as both their hands meet.

Episode 3: RUB A TUB TUB

This one opened with Marty and the drawer-
Leaving Jim and his leg mighty sore.
It you think that was enough
The going only got rough
"I'll buy some bells" cut Jim to the core.

The DOA was a cop from anit-crime
Who's partner was a bit of a slime
His wife slept around
So when the body was found
It was Jim's job to see who'd do time.

Jim called on his old snitch named Sonny,
who would do anything for some money.
To Jim Sonny complained
Till Karen had to explain
That what Jim had endured that past year wasn't funny.

A body was found--more death!
The wife was named Mary Beth
It wasn't a strain
To find blood in the drain
I need a rhyme--crystal meth!

All those Galloway visits can be very trying
Especially when Jim Dunbar practices lying-
The doc opens his eyes
To a possible marriage demise
So to the nearest florist he's off and flying.

Jim's home, with an armful of flowers
To atone for those long stressful hours.
Her wrath will dull again
With his hopeful Mulligan
As he calls upon all of his powers.

He thanks her for hanging in there
And says she has nothing to fear
He's not the same man
Who strayed with Anne
"I promise" he said, and does care.

Episode 4: UP ON THE ROOF

Station Break here for Maggie to do an Opus.(fingers crossed.)

I could not resist starting this one...which requires TWO screencaps!

Episode 5: MARLONS BRANDO

Jim is awakened by Christie's advance.
Her touch signals her need for romance.
Mood broken by his phone...
Why can't he leave it alone?
To be continued tonight? Not a chance.

Episode 11: DANCE WITH ME

There once was a man named Pete
Who was living his life in defeat
Jim found him a job
Now Pete doesn't sob
His blindness, he was able to beat

Oh my, there's been a fire!
Karen thinks Meg's a liar
Karen sees Meg's necklace
Tries for Meg's good grace
But Meg's actions are not ones to admire

Hope you don't mind--as I said, I'm not concrete sequential! I jumped ahead here. I reposted my one about Pete and added another. Thanks for the karma yesterday!

[maggiethecat]

Not the magnum opus, rducasey and Kathy, but here's a start:



In a dream, misty-hued, Jim will find
sight and love, a cruel trick of the mind.
But time seems to freeze
when Terry he sees . . .
and the gunman. He wakes, once again blind.

For Jim sleep is no sweet release.
Thought he tries, there is no real surcease
from the ghosts of the past;
they cling, holding him fast.
Daylight brings the bitterest kind of peace.

Maggie had some fine ones in the Limerick thread from back a ways that she said we could use here. I'm going to hunt them down. So we will work on Episodes 4 and 5 here and Inuvik gave me permission to leave her last posts for episode 11 in the previous post until we get to 11. And anyone else please feel free to jump in.
OH AND ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE. HERE IS MAGGIE'S LATEST, thanks Maggie.



In a dream, misty-hued, Jim will find
sight and love, a cruel trick of the mind.
But time seems to freeze

and the gunman. He wakes, once again blind.

For Jim sleep is no sweet release.

Daylight brings the bitterest kind of peace.

Would his day get better? Not very.
When he arrived at the crime he found Terry.
So all he could say-
Was "It was a bad day."
And other thoughts of the bank he'd just bury.

They found Terry on the roof had been hit
"Titus was the gunman", with Jim didn't sit
He'd heard the gun sounds
As they fired the rounds
He'd soon find the proof in the grime and the grit.


Here's another of Maggie's from the thread for the finale. Thanks again Maggie.

Terry Jansen is one messed-up guy --
At the shootout he won't even try.
Cowardice is a knife
That will cut though his life.
Even blindness beats living a lie.

We are going into hiatus with the limerick saga, but I must thank Maggie and Kathy for providing all of Marlon's. It breaks my heart to remove the screencaps, but it must be done. I will leave however the Marlon's ones until we return.

Events on the Roof were not clear
Based on what Jim thought he did hear.
They went back to the roof,
Where they found solid proof
Of Terry's action that Dunbar did fear.


So he waits, sadly grasping a sliver
of hope that Terry will deliver
the truth. But he's on
to the lies. Trust is gone.
Time stands still . . . as onward flows the river.

Will he go off The Job or remain?
This Jim Dunbar must now ascertain.
Once a tough stand-up guy,
Terry's caught in a lie . . .
Subterfuge with so little to gain.

Terry Jansen is one messed-up guy --
At the shootout he won't even try.
Cowardice is a knife
That will cut though his life.

Out to unmask a face-slashing freak,
Karen traces a line on Jim's cheek.
But it's one more excuse
For some verbal abuse . . .
Alpha male? Nah, just Marty's mean streak.




Lightening-fast, lashing out in the dark,
A white cane crashes down on its mark.
Thought the perp scoffs, "You're blind?"
In one moment he'll find
Dunbar's bite is far worse than his bark.




Bleached white images capture Jim’s head
Infusing his soul with deep dread.
To “play up the blindness”
Will come as no kindness
But deepen his anguish instead.




To a detective’s job born and bred, it
Comes naturally (thus to his credit),
That cheeks cut with a zed
Will combine in Jim’s head . . .
But he still can't relax. There. I said it.




Though sensitive, complex, and smart,
Jim struggles to speak from the heart.
All past glories have paled
With the knowledge he’s failed.
Healing comes with the line: "It's a start."




Wrenched-out words. Feeling sick, almost queasy.
Wounded women are all that Jim sees. He
Is forced to admit
That these dreams from the pit
Leave him shaken . . . and “This isn’t easy.”

[maggiethecat]

Here you go, rducasey -- I found it back on page 13 if you want to add it in sequentially. More UoTR goodies on page 10, and when the time comes, I found (the final, much-edited version of ) my "Marlon's Brando" opus way back on page 6.

Once his partner, his back-up, his friend . . .
Jimmy wonders how it will all end.
How did they come to this
bitterness? Gone the bliss
of the past. This rift no one can mend.



It all began on a bright street
split by gunfire, where one man would meet
destiny's tragic hand,
the death of faith, and
a fate cold and relentless as sleet.



So he waits, sadly grasping a sliver
of hope that Terry will deliver
the truth. But he's on
to the lies. Trust is gone.
Time stands still . . . as onward flows the river.

OK Maggie, I modified the last post and those limericks were just great. Just what it needed. I will leave the screencaps there for a day or so since it really adds to the limericks, but then I will take the pics out as we move on to the next one, or the whole thing will be too long. So thanks Maggie, Kathy and Inuvik, good job. I think after Marlons, I must stop for a while or we may not have a Christmas here.

[maggiethecat]

Thanks, rducasey! Here's a new silly Marlon's Brando limerick, and then my old stuff re-posted so you can work it into the stream if you like.

Here's the new one (Can you tell I'm getting my work done and starting to play again?!)

Oh Maggie, thanks for the new Marlon's and resurrecting all those old ones. They will all be great for the Marlon's recap. I'm going to stop after Marlon's and pick up again after the holidays. It's just too busy a time right now. but that's great.

Call me dense, but why do you have to take out all the screencaps?

Oh couldn't we just recycle last year's poem? Call it regifting? and Anita, I think by the time we get through 13 episodes it would be too long, but it does lose a little with those pictures out of there. But let's face it, we just love to look at the screencaps.

You could re-gift it, but if the urge hits, a sequel would be awesome--but no pressure really. New grandkids and Christmas keep you busy.

It would be long, but oh so pretty. And yes, we love looking at the screencaps! I never tire that's for sure.

I'm all for recycling -- repost it under Milestones, perhaps, so we don't have to go trasure hunting through old threads?

After all, you need every spare moment for those precious grandchildren!

Oh, I am loving the ABC Game and all the fun polls, and even the amazement that Absolutely the Last Survival Game Ever (which was on life support) has sprung back to riotous life . . .

. . . but I am missing my limericks and my limerick gals.

So let's get going again, and why not? Oh, we can worry about the episode order later -- let's just get back in the swing of things. Off the proverbial top of my head:

There once was a blind tec named Jim
Whose wife was so soignee and thin.
But she carped and she nagged --
His composure she "fragged."
How we all ached and worried for him!
