Lady Bluebeard

Lady Bluebeard

By Kazz Falcon

 

I purchased a farm near town

The late husband was crushed by heavy equipment

I pocketed another $4,000 in insurance money

Much like my first husband – $8,500

He died from a heart attack

His family cried fowl play

I collected the insurance policy one day after the funeral

I placed a personal ad in the newspaper

I wanted a financially secure man to marry

Few men answered the ad

One by one, they came to live with me

Instead, I killed them for their savings

Their relatives haven’t heard from them in a long time

They wrote to me about them

I mentioned I never saw them

Even the neighbors was nosy

They wondered what happened to my kid

I sent her off to boarding school in Los Angeles

As soon a man came, he soon disappeared

His sons wrote to me

I explained he never show up

Another man deposited his savings in a account

Things was starting to unravel

For the money, I was a bloodthirsty farmer
