Moronic Murderers

I just love to watch Dateline And Forty-Eight Hours Mystery… I often scream at my television ‘How stupid can someone be?’ Their internet searches are careless Looking up such truly awful things ‘The best way to strangle someone’ ‘murder 4 hire’; braggin’ bout their flings! Cell phone pings surely don’t lie Rental car records-easy to trace Tire impressions and fingerprints Idiots leave DNA all over the place! Then there are the ones who crack Confessing at the station They should have shut their trap Plead the fifth, interrogation cessation I’ve strategized about what I'd do... Lie in wait behind a bush? Use Poison? Peaceful smothering? Or maybe a little cliffside push? Most killers are foolish, careless As they bid their freedom ‘adieu’ I am far more calculating, clever Smart enough to not tell you! Written by: Natalie Flikkema For Susan’s ‘Getting Away with Murder/Murderous Thoughts’ Contest ***Now if you’ll excuse me…I’ve got to go ignite my hard drive :) ****

12 percent of murders are committed by women. Poison or arson is the method usually chosen. * Great Write Natalie

Some killers are not killers at all. Planted evidence is more popular than ever. Just a twist to add to your thought provoking poem!

Congratulations on your win in my contest! I like how you talked about the shows and how stupid people can be about committing murder - no one else did this or had the thought NOT to tell me - great idea and ending!

Natalie, ironically some of my favorite shows like "Criminal Minds" may actually offer tips to murderers on how not to be caught. Even though I enjoy these shows, I worry about the consequences. This is a very thought-provoking and clever entrie for Susan's contst. Surely a winner! Love, Carolyn
