Just another case of whodunnit?

Just another case of whodunnit?

The ramblings of a rambling man

found alongside a body, dead

 lies in the gutter.

The Police had many leads.

The women town folk said.

" There was no more room 

  here, for idle chit chat."

The newspaper headlines read.

Man murdered impersonating a woman.

The investigation continues 

on suspects well informed; 

female gossip spreads.

When female chit chat travelled on wings

faster than the postman.

'Those poor officers... They could never hope to compete with the females' gossip mill.

The clue was blown away by the wind...
just beyond the bend... Secrets of a true
identity are traced around the body...
Your poem is shrouded with mystery.
truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

I thank you Pat for your lovely review.:)

[Patricia Wedel]

You are welcome... By the way... Where are the clues for
politics today... a complete mystery...

[andrew mitchell]

That's the problem with gossips, rumors and small towns. It's the small minds that spread that kinda bullshiit..The poor guy, probably faked his own death...lol Got the hell outta dodge...He probably didn't get out quick enough, before word spread, that he was already dead. Complete with a police investigation and who knows what else, bored folks cook up. They can spin tales, that grow two heads and four legs...haha I like the story and I like mysteries. Well done.

Oh, the gossips in a small town were far faster than any internet connection, that's for sure. The investigation would continue and continue....but the poor guy would still be dead. Lydi**

Some women are good and kind.
Others will chew you to bits with their rose coloured lips.

"The Police were suspicious." hmmmmmmmmmm reminds me of a case in NY (where i grew up) a body was found cut into parts and bagged and buried in a backyard ..along with the headline the story read "police are treating it as a possible homicide" ...you just have to shake your head and walk away eh!? gossip and chit chat on wings ..faster than the speeding bullet ..able to leap tall buildings ..then tear them down as well :} interesting reading for me this morning sir.. i can see the crime scene so clearly ..so well done says i!

[andrew mitchell]

it was really a humorous theme on how women can talk chit chat for ages on anything while men remain silent lol hence the women killed this imposing guy talking more than them lol. they felt threatened.

[andrew mitchell]

i will change that line the police were.... its a bit weak . thanks e for reviewing
