Reading about Crimes
The mistake was mine. I'll confess
I love whodunnits. But I digress.
I put down the fiver. I looked away
Stab or shoot? Hmm, which way to slay?
Wait! I'm not stealing a book!
Look in my bag! Really, just look!
TWO books by Christie??
Well, I declare. It IS a mystery.
Never shoulda done it,
I had decided to be kind,
I bought someone a beer,
watched him unwind.
Didnt know he had it in him,
but a case and 10 hours later…
I got a call to close his tab,
by a very concerned waiter.
