Murder Be Kind

MURDER BE KIND

Murder be kind
Kind as a mistress
Intense as a fan
Doting as a bride
Flamboyant as a flamingo
Prodding as a detective
Wishy-washy as a drunk

Standing over a trap door
Shot
Stared down

Who killed the groom
Should we presume
Or do we get in line
With three-thousand excuses

The guilty one holds the ticket
Unashamed
And grinning
As he is revealed
He’s just-a-kid

A kid who understands none of it!

Fascinating to me how you came up with this one... like a sequel to something from Agatha Christie! ~ gw
