By the great Pete Mills, from the play, "Death By Design."
WHEN ONE IS WITH

THE KIN AND KITH,

THE SPIRIT OFTEN SURGES

WITH HOMICIDAL URGES…

BUT ONE MUST NOT EXHIBIT ‘EM,

AD LIBITUM.

DOING IN

THE KITH AND KIN

IS A DEED DESERVING MORE THOUGHT,

YOUR MALICE MAY SEEM CALLOUS

IF IT HASN’T BEEN AFORETHOUGHT.

IT’S BETTER TO PREMEDITATE

TO PICK A PLACE AND SET A DATE,

AND PLAN IT IN THE MANNER ONE INTENDS.

REMEMBER THAT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS,

YOUR MEANS MUST ALWAYS JUSTIFY THEIR ENDS…

WITH A HOMICIDE THE WORST ONE

IS THE WHOLLY UNREHEARSED ONE

THE ACT HAS PLAINLY BEEN INSANE SINCE

CAIN PULLED OFF THE FIRST ONE.

FOR IT’S CERTAIN TO GO ILLY

IF YOU DO IT WILLY-NILLY,

AND MAKE A MESS THAT MIGHT DISTRESS

THE KILLER AND THE KILLEE.

IF AN OFFING’S IN THE OFFING,

MAKE SURE THAT IT’S UP TO SNUFF,

OR YOUR VICTIM COULD BE SCOFFING

AS YOU’RE OFFING HIM OFF THE CUFF.

BUT IF THE MADNESS HAD MORE METHOD,

THAT DEATH’D BE DIVINE.

TAKE A BREATH…

MAKE IT DEATH BY DESIGN.

THE IMPULSIVE CRIMES OF PASSION

THAT MAY ONCE HAVE BEEN THE FASHION

ARE THE SORT THAT SUIT MOST ANY BRUTE



WITH A BRAIN NEARBY TO BASH IN.

BUT A BLUDGEONING IS BOORISH;

STRANGULATION, DOWNRIGHT MOORISH.

OUT OF SIMPLE TACT, WHEN A LOVED ONE’S WHACKED,

THE ACT SHOULD HAVE SOME FLOURISH.

NEVER LET THE WORK BE SHODDY.

NEVER PLAY IT FAST AND LOOSE.

NEVER HACK AT A VICTIM’S BODY

LIKE YOU’RE CARVING A CHRISTMAS GOOSE.

WHEN THERE’S SOMEONE YOU WOULD THROTTLE,

THEN BOTTLE THAT LIKE WINE.

LET THE RAGE

COME OF AGE…

TAKE A BREATH…

MAKE IT DEATH BY DESIGN.

JACK THE RIPPER—WHAT A HACK!

MARK THE MANNER OF ATTACK:

OVERKILL LIKE THAT WILL SMACK

OF A LACK OF PLANNING

HAD THE DEEDS BEEN BETTER PLOTTED

HE’D HAVE STOPPED AT THE CAROTID,

WHERE A SOLITARY SLICE

WILL MOST CERTAINLY SUFFICE.

FOR A SLAUGHTER’S NOT A ROMP TO

BE EMBARKED UPON IMPROMPTU.

GIVE IT CIRCUMSTANCE AND POMP TO

MAKE IT SHINE!

TAKE YOUR TIME…

LAY YOUR TRAPS

BE PREPARED…

AND PERHAPS

YOU’LL MAKE MINE

A DEATH BY DESIGN.
