a simple whack or two
with the ax wouldn't do
she kept on whacking till
she was through
reducing the family
to only two

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Ha!  The case of Lizzie Borden has always fascinated me for some bloody reason.

She got away with it too . . .

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Thank you, Yann.  I watched a special on this case on tv many years ago.  I also had a book about the trial but loaned it out to someone.  I don't know of a movie made but I am going to check Youtube.  If there is one I'm sure there will be something on it there.

When I googled Lizzie Borden last night, I discovered someone is creating a website called lizzieborden. com but so far there is very little on the site...

at any rate, i thank you for reading and commenting on my poem...i'm glad you enjoyed it
