A Capital Idea!

They’re kept in comfort and they are well fed.
They rest in peace upon a feather bed.
I would prefer a parting of the head
From body – after all, when all is said,
They never reoffend when they are dead.

A woman he killed with a knife,
But why should he pay with his life?
I’d not want revenge;
To her murder avenge.
So you say – but she wasn’t your wife.
