Arsenic
Arsenic?
Does it make you sick.
If it was baked in a pie.
On the other, hand in a stir fry.
Wonder does it smell.
Can it be tasted, can the user tell.
Who gave the dose.
Does the aroma, stick to the clothes.
Could it be administered in very small portions.
Bring instant death, or just convulsion.
Linger on the breath, before the victim dies.
Hand on heart, and telling lies.
Cremation may be better.
To throw the red setter.
Off the trail.
Of the old lady, so frail.
