Murder In the Tunnel
One day our local newspaper reported
a corpse was found and recovered from
a gigantic industrial funnel.
Corrected, the next day’s edition
read the corpse was murdered in
a large ceramic tile drainage tunnel.
Now, I don’t know what to think,
Not that it would make much difference,
for dead is dead, as I see it,
whether be a funnel or a tunnel.
I certainly hope the local investigators
are more careful with the "facts" they are telling
than the reporters are with initial spelling!
