A Dangerous Guest

The Dangerous Guest

By Elton Camp

Cabot Cove provides not a thrill
For few remain there to kill

So she visits one or another friend
Mainly with the rich, time does spend

Folks may think that it's the most
To Jessica Fletcher to become host

For she has become a household name
From her writing she's achieved fame

But when they allow her to come in,
Is when mayhem and murder begin

For whatever route she may take 
Slaughter falls within her wake

And then she will take a close look
Gather material for her next book

The busybody always solves the case
So the murderer due justice will face

To invite her to visit go ahead and try
But know that somebody's going to die
