It was a sure shock What we found when home from our walk There was blood splattered And glass shattered All around the room Someone had found their doom We did not not know who’s blood it was Nor what was the cause All we saw was our dinner laid out Then my father began to shout The meat was bloody Just like the body Lain in the corner was somebody Dead and incredibly bloody By the meat were bloodstained knives The cause of the end of certain lives Somebody gasped, it was my brother Somebody fainted, it was my mother About the murder, we had been mistook We now know to blame it on the cook
