/// Ginny reached out to pluck a white lily,
though the water was stagnant and chilly.
The adornment was apt
for the thing which was wrapped
in the blanket— their late Uncle Willie.
/// He had talked about changing his will,
and so, this was the right time to kill
the old miserly bore.
Now they’d row far from shore,
dump the corpse, and then move to Brazil.
/// In Brazil there’s a long-held tradition
to turn down all calls for extradition.
So, though Willie’s now chum,
there’s no “uppance” to come.
Not unless you believe in perdition.
