Pulling No Punches Part 1

"Let me draw your bath, dear Grace!" 
(the space heater's perched upon the rim, 
and there's hydrochloric acid, just in case!) 

My .45 revolver, my machete from Trelew 
will come in very handy 
if the other two exigencies fall through! 

I think I've thought of everything 
except to kill that creep you slept with, 
may he rot in Hades, damn his eyes! 

Now the the only thing remaining, 
harlot, bane of my existence, 
is my holler of delight at your demise!

I don't know where this one came from! probably a passage in Dylan Thomas' 'Under Milk Wood' where a character has designs on poisoning his wife, believe it or not! Thanks foe the visit and the comment!!! Best wishes, Keith
