MOURNING HAS BROKEN

by

Ellersley Rumpkin F.R.C.S.T.Q.

Suspicions are aroused at the funeral.

*

' But Cedric always hated  

His Uncle Beau!'

This from Aunt Millie.

*

You will devour chapter after chapter

Of this enthralling tale!

*

Cedric's grief is real,

But it is not for Uncle Beau.

It is for lost opportunities.

*

What ties the two men together

In a bond broken only by death?

Is this a case of murder?

Is Cedric both perpetrator

And grief-stricken nephew?

And what of Gretchen,

Beau's widow?

*

What does the coffin contain

Other than Beau's remains?

*

This intriguing tale

Encompasses

Family friction,

Illicit love,

Dishonour

And

A surprisingly macabre crime!

*

(Not forgetting The Scandal!)

SPLASH

A splash of red on a blue, blue day,

A red-hot colour, as if to say

'The blue of the sky and the blue of the sea

Can't hold a candle to the red of me!'
