Advice For Daughters

Please shoot up this relaxant, Wilbur politely said.
It immobilized her until she was quickly dead.
He should have reported it, but covered it up instead.

A little less honest, is the date rape bandit Ned.
He sneaks the drug into her drink, and takes her to bed.
I wish they would both get convicted, but they get away instead.

Tell your daughters if they want to be hydrated or fed,
Eat at home, and watch their drink because of this dread.
There are a few horrible bad guys out there like Wilbur and Ned.

Gawsh! Wasn't expecting this! A brilliant mono. Didn't realise it was a mono, message delivered so fluidly. A darn relevant message, thanks your light tongue for impact it leaves.

Thank you. It is something more common than we dared ever had nightmares about.
