Crime Rhymes: From Bad to Verse
by Dixie J Whitted
If you enjoy "gallows humor" and/or wordplay, this is filled with over 200 lethal limericks and punny poems, along with some cute quirky cartoons, all with a mystery twist. Don't miss the particularly peculiar chapters on Lizzie Borden and Sherlock Holmes. Includes a special bonus feature - the short story "The Adventure of the Stainless Spinster."
Some samples of the sinister stanzas:
AX HER NO QUESTIONS
Abbie's chores in the guest room were licit:
Cleaning up after Uncle John's visit.
But she wasn't alone--
Came her stepdaughter's tone:
"Mrs. Borden..." "Well, Lizzie, what is it?"
NEVER TEASE THE COOK
Pretty Penelope Plowder
Is ladylike if you don't crowd her.
Her fiancé Jack
Dropped a clam down her back--
Don't ask what she put in the chowder.
