KILLER INSTINCT
The killer
was the type
of nice guy you
know the kind
you could bring home
to Mum and
even she would
fancy him too.
The nice boy who
could whistle all of "Oliver!"
Carry a tune
if called upon
crazy at Karaoke.
He adored apple pie
never refused second helpings.
Ate his greens
even as a kid.
Always cleaned
his plate.
Thought everything was
"Great...just...great!"
He cried at
"Chick" flics.
Always watched Christmas re -runs
of "It's a Wonderful Life"/ "The Wizard of Oz."
He loved dogs
but was more of a cat guy.
And his victims
were always amazed
to meet their deaths
at the hands of
"...such a nice
nice man!"

A friend of mine almost got "strangled by the nicest of nice boyfriends" who just "glazed over with jealousy...just went into one." She left him and left the town...it frightened the life out of her. She said that one could not even begin to believe that this 'perfect person' could change...just like that. She always claimed she knew what it would be like to be murdered.
