A Killer Who Laughed

  
   	       A motive was sought
                  a killer who laughed
               Left pictures of clowns
                  near victims, fore and aft

               Scratching heads, pulling hair
                  nor reason nor rhyme was there
                Investing time and money
                   when the belfry’s bare
