He got away with it every time
repeating the same old crime
‘Blow to the head’, on the report
‘An accident’, his usual retort
What had made him commit this awful act?
He couldn’t deny it, it was a statement of fact
Each time the policeman asked him ‘Why?’
Under cross examination, told not to lie
He simply hung his head in shame
promising never to do it again
Each day Judith hoped he would change
but each day he became more deranged
It was a wicked thing to do
in front of all those kids too
Striking his wife, hit after hit
chanting, ‘That’s the way to do it
Nice punch line!
