In the Heat of the Night (National Poetry Month, Write a Poem to Review Your Favorite Movie)
At the old railroad station, but Sheriff Gillespie hunts him down.
We need to know who killed the industrialist in the night.
Son, you ain't goin' to leave here without a fight!
The sheriff says, Virgil is a funny name for a nig'.
He answers, back in Philadelphia, the call me, MR. TIBBS!
OOOHHH! MR. TIBBS! Watch out for that chain,
Wielded by a thug with very little brain!
Thanks for solving the murder, Sheriff Gillespie says,
I must admit my face is red!
Let me carry your suitcase, MR. TIBBS,
And son I ain't sayin' that just to be glib!
T-O-O-O-O-O-T! T-O-O-O-O-O-T!
Goodbye, MR. TIBBS!
