Detective McGruff Busts the Cartel

Detective McGruff was still recovering

From his time held captive

By the cartel


They kept him tied to a chair

For days on end

And the only water they gave him

Was poured over a chupacabra

Into a sullen bucket

And then offered to him

As his guards sneered and snickered


Theirs were the first throats cut

When McGruff dislocated his paw

So he could slip it out from under the rope

Not tied properly

By these tontos

Who were soon lying in their own blood

As the doggie detective

Made his way through the basement

Of the mansion

Where he was being kept


Upstairs he found a decadent pool party

Where the leader of the cartel

Was hosting his biggest dealers

And a bevy of topless women

Carousing underneath a cheap, plastic waterfall


The women were innocents

Or at least that’s what McGruff

Wanted to believe

So he bided his time

Lapping up water

From a bowl on the floor

Meant for the cartel leader’s pet pitbull


McGruff saw the pitbull

Out of the corner of his eye

Ready to pounce

So he shot him a look

That said--


This isn’t your fight, Asesino


The pitbull, whose actual name

Was Babydoo

Decided to play it safe

And went for a nice piss

On the new carpet

In the cocaine room


McGruff hung back

As servants moved

Throughout the house

Looking to make his move

At a time when he could minimize

The carnage


Finally, the moment arrived…


The staff brought out a cake

A birthday cake

For one of the second-in-commands

And as everyone was singing

McGruff came bounding through the cake

As the screams of the party guests

Was punctured

By the swift whistle

Of bullets


But McGruff was already using

The body of one of the Mexico City dealers

As a shield as he chomped on the hand

Of the main dealer

From Guadalajara


On the other side of the pool

He saw the cartel leader

Surrounded by bodyguards

Making their way

To the nearby helipad


The pup had to move fast


He bounded towards the security circle

His trench coat filling with the air

Now stained with red plasma

And chlorine


When he reached the first security guard

He jammed his magnifying glass

In the man’s eye socket


The second guard

Got whacked in the face

With McGruff’s tail

And then a paw paw

To the gut

That had him doubled over


The third was a former Israeli

Special Forces assassin

But McGruff trained

With Rin Tin Tin

And Lassie

And he fears no man


Three seconds later

The assassin was beheaded

And the leader of the cartel

Was standing in front of a helicopter

Holding a gun on the canine

Telling him not to take

One more step forward


That was when McGruff pounced on him

The bullet missing his snout

By mere inches

And cartel leader went

Into the propellers

His body becoming nothing more

Than shreds of skin

Spilled over the imported grass


McGruff commandeered the helicopter

And flew it over the border


It was just another day

On the job for him


He thought about that moment

Standing over the scattered remains

Of the cartel leader

Taking his time

To light a cigarette

And say

Just before he boarded the copter--


Don’t use drugs
