Day 17

A Musical Murderer

After a romantic reunion

in bed,

the satisfied man seemed to be sleeping

sweetly and soundly.

The reckless woman,

driven by drinks,

committed something that created

irrevocable consequences.

Clip

Clip

"What are you doing?"

Still holding the nail clipper,

the woman smiled

like a silly billy.

"Ha, ha…" 

Clink

Clank

Clunk

Shattered bottle of champagne was now wrung.

Bam

Wham

Lam

(Dayum) Her destiny was doomed.

The next noon,

news headline read:

Guitarist Murderer Still At Large.

(A man with his three fingernails on his right hand clipped or he who can play guitar well could be the suspect.)
