It's Simple

        "In this case,
          It is certain
We shall never escape."

Gaze and go, into a looking glass
      Fast as a turtle
      Slow, like a hare
  As miniscule as an epic
"In the station of the Metro"
        You get it.

      Houdini proves
  That tale, of two cities,
      Believe it, or not.

    The Miller, the Reeve
  Two tricksters themselves
    Spun tales to deceive
  Like the judge who killed all
  And then there were none.

        The best of all tricks,
  Who did whitewash that fence?
          this began a tale
Where a boy unearthed a case
          In the graveyard.

          "Tell no tales"
                Well
  Shakespeare and Ibsen's don't.
        They. Tell. All.

    Is the case then solved?
              How?
          Elementary.

      The bunny runs
      Around the tree
  And into the rabbit hole.
Watson, our scribe, sits stunned.
