Murdering Your Wife
If you’re planning to murder your wife,
Using poison, a gun or a knife,
You must plan things with care
Or, if not, then prepare
To face jail for the rest of your life.
For a husband, who’s now in the news,
Killed his spouse but left multiple clues -
Cleaning agents in bags,
Plus a hacksaw and rags
All with blood found by DNA crews.
But the evidence that did astound
Was a Google search officers found
Listing ways to dispose
So it won’t decompose
Of a body with neighbors around.
So to anyone planning a crime,
It’s worth taking a little more time
To conceal what you’ve done
Or you’ll next be the one
Whose stupidity ends up in rhyme.
