The person who finds the killer

Must use this thread to start

A new mystery or thriller.

As the death came, as a shocking surprise
Mrs Hawkins, may well be innocent, we surmise
Once she had recovered from the initial shock
She may wonder, who forgot to wind up the clock

 

Also as the room was not very clean
Can you see the way, I am beginning to lean
The maid may well have been preoccupied
A possible reason why Mr Hawkins died

 

It may not be just the cook, who was up the duff
Mr Hawkins may have been getting more than enough
Plum's though, it has to be said
Have been known to turn a mans head

 

So let us rule out the boy with his shilling
For I doubt if he, would have been willing
In fact, I should think he hardly went upstairs
Or held dear, any murderous cares

 

Yet, that then brings me back to his wife
Was revenge the reason she ended his life
Did she pretend to run away screaming
While all the while plotting and scheming

 

No, I think the fact the maid has not been seen
And seems to have disappeared from the scene
Look to the mess, and the clock unwound
And I'm sure the murderer will soon be found.

 

I can't think of a poetic response,

So this will have to do.

I'm afraid that I'm going to

be naughty

And leave you all to chew

It over for a little while.

But when the time comes,

I'll unmask the killer with style.

In thought of the staff

who preoccupied,

were otherwise busy

when the master died...

at 8.17, he was all alone

perhaps he had dined

and swallowed missed stone.

Once dinned was served

at 8 on the dot.....

he may have gobbled

Plum Duff ~ whilest too hot!!!

The clock was sat near him

on desk by his side,

and though tried to call "Help"

he throw out arms and he died.

 

Keep guessing.

Humph, lol

 

and come on all you poets...

 

have a guess, lol

I guess I'm sadistic, Zy, but I'm enjoying this.

Meany, lol, but so am I....and I've had another thought, Poetess...

 

Mr Hawkines had dined

and then he had wined,

from out of nowhere

he just slumped in his chair.

Mrs hawkins had said

it's time that we changed

the nail for the clock

which needs rearranged.

Alas it would seem

he had left it too late

and the clock struck his head

17 minutes past 8!!!

 

 

 

 THE CLOCK DID IT!!!

oops, lol, meant...enjoying this,

 

not the 'sadist' bit.

 

M&S at my age, Poetess, is definately Marks & Spencers,

No... still "Mystery and Suspense" to me.

Thanks Zy.

Oh dear, lol, back to the drawing board, Poetess...

 

now where did I leave that pipe and magnifying glass, lol, Zy x

Well, I guess the time has come for this;

 

 

Now the time has come to reveal

The person who committed this evil crime.

Hanging was abolished a long time ago

So, in jail, they must do time.

 

First of all, let me tell you the story

Of how a banker called Mr Hawkins

Met an ending that wasn't so gory.

It went like this:

 

Mr Hawkins returned home from work,

Took off his coat and hung it up.

The maid had made a pot of tea -

- but cyanide was added to his cup!

 

It wasn't the maid who bumped him off.

She'd just made his tea, strong and hot.

She didn't know that somebody else

Would soon be taking his lot.

 

It wasn't his wife, so loving and giving

Who decided that his life was not for living.

She loved him and cared for his needs,

So who committed this evil deed?

 

Now listen closely dear friends,

Before I bring this mystery to an end,

I'd like to say that it's been a thriller.

I've enjoyed making everyone sweat,

But now it's time to reveal the killer.

 

It was the cook, who poisoned his tea,

After falling in love so passionately.

Her heart broken, love unrequited,

As he'd said to her the following words,

"My wife and I will always be united."

 

So while Cook was making her plum duff,

She said, quite simply, "Enough is enough."

Cook concocted her evil plan

While she baked a delicious cheese flan.

 

She waited for the maid to fetch the milk

Before producing from her apron of silk,

A tub of cyanide crystals for all to see

And put some in her master's tea.

 

So the answer is...

...

 

 THE COOK DID IT!
