The Mystery of a Woman
I do wonder
after all that’s been seen and done
if she really killed him and
what she did with the gun.
Not that she didn’t have her reasons
his abuse was number one
his cheating, his drinking
his time on the run.
Ok! He wasn’t perfect
but who is?. . . No one.
Maggie was a charmer
a vivacious coquette
a brown-eyed brunette.
with a face too beautiful to forget.
She was a pillar of the community
friendly to everyone she met
willing to help out a neighbor
likable from the outset.
OK! She wasn’t perfect
but she never was. . . A threat.
Here’s how they found him
that abusive loudmouthed pig-head
sitting on the couch watching TV….
only, with a head full of lead.
