‘Twas the night
before murder when all through the book,
Not a character was plotting, not even the crook.
Reading page after page and absorbed with delight,
Every chapter expecting a murderous sight.
There I sat nestled all snug in my chair,
Reading my mystery book without care
My husband lay snoring aloud on the couch,
As I continued to read in a deepening slouch.
