Hickory Dickory

Hickory dickory dock

The man looked at the clock

“When the clock strikes 12”

He thought to himself

“I will murder my wife with a rock.”

Hickory dickory deep

His wife was fast asleep

The man watched the clock

And grabbed for the rock

This secret forever he’ll keep.

Hickory dickory deeper.

His wife had been a cheater.

She really should’ve known

When she left him alone

That no one else could keep her.

Hickory dickory closer.

The deadline is almost over.

As the minute passed nine,

The man felt just fine

And thought of the ways he could pose her.

.......

Hickory dickory “Please!”

The mailman screamed for the police.

The woman was dead

With a rock in her head.

The mailman fell down on his knees.

Hickory dickory miser.

He almost didn’t recognize her.

His lover was there

Body full bare

Oh, how he had prized her.

Hickory dickory dock.

The husband now brandished a glock.

Two shots from the dark

The gun met its mark

Hickory dickory dock.
