This Lady Can Bedevil

This is a tale About three men now in jail Who fell under the spell Of a vixen who played them well. She plays men as the fool Getting them to do what she wants them to All the time remaining cool She has an unlimited resource pool. She entices them with sex Putting them under her hex Then puts them to the test Having them put a spouse to rest. Insurance is her gain Without suffering any pain To her it’s just a game She plots again to do the same. When once again she’s wed And a new policy is fed She takes a lover to her bed And puts murder in his head. Somehow every time She stays clear of the crime And on the lover drops the dime Getting another spouse in line. About this there is no question Hell is her destination I’ll put it on the level This lady can bedevil.

Great tale that you have told..I watch some of these type murders on tv called "Snapped" and there is another one that I watch...Most of the time they prove that the spouse is involved in the crime...Sad that someone would be so money hungry that they would think so little of a human life..Sara
