Crime Limerick

They found the body in bed

It was very obviously dead

With blood on the floor

And guts by the door

It was also missing its head

It must have been there a while

As checking the telephones dial

There were messages few

And one was a clue

In a particularly murderous style

In a very sinister voice

The victim was given a choice

To hand the thing back

Or suffer attack

They be round soon in a Rolls Royce

So the murderer must have been there

As the evidence was very clear

On the drive by the drain

A big oily stain

From a vehicle in need of repair

And the culprit must have a key

As it was plain to see

The door wasn’t forced

But unlocked of course

An easy form of entry

Then upon leaving the scene

It wasn’t very clean

With footsteps of blood

Mixed in with mud

Probably size sixteen

A couple of days had gone

And the police had cottoned on

It was big boots Bob

Of the Rolls Royce mob

They’d suspected him all along
