XXV

Dear old Mary was found

heartless,

Her eyes wide awake

but in shocked,

That one night

when the air was dense,

And snow fell hard,

her life had stopped.

XXVI

Four people were called

for her death,

They were called upon

to confess.

All were asked

on Mary's last breath.

Is this another game

of chess?

XXVII

Has the queen

sacrificed her move?

And has her king

then won the game?

Was there a war

and was there truce?

Or all's a scheme

of love aflame?

XXVIII

Was it all

just an accident?

Or has someone crossed

the border?

Who's guilty

and who's innocent?

Was all this

just unplanned horror?

XXIX

All is in

the Paragon's shoes,

It is almost time

to decide.

Where's the details,

where are the clues?

Could this be

one more homicide?

XXX

PARAGON:

"So let's start digging

for what's true,

And ready our ears

for their lies."

She was set

for the interview.

"Let's sense guilt

and hear alibis."
