The Garden Ruse...part 2(kjforce) Her Garden Club was the only thing, that held her together
The mental abuse had taken it’s toll...
As far as he was concerned he owned her soul..
She now felt she had no recourse..
And decided she had to find a source..
To end this life as she knew it..
And move on without the commitment...
It was a Friday one cold winter day..
He told her he was going to Vegas to play..
But we have no money, you said yesterday..
No, you have no money he said and...
I wish you were dead...
He had bragged for years, this day would come
When he would choose another one..
But before I leave...he had a request..
Make me my favorite dinner...for me and a guest
She is younger than you and oh what a catch..
So she went to the freezer to find and fetch..
A suitable roast for he and his guest...
She found just the right thing for his favorite meal..
A large leg of lamb, I think they call Veal..
It was heavy, about twenty pounds she thought
What was I thinking when this was bought ?
Back in the kitchen, he was still ranting and raving...
About how useless this marriage was of saving..
I really don’t care what happens to you..
But I’ll see you get nothing, not even a shoe..
With that she swung the 20 pound roast..
It smashed his skull, he was dead right away..
Oh my, she said, what a way to start the day...
She grabbed the roast and put it in a pan...
And began to figure out a plan, of what to do with this man..
She thought for a moment and remembered the strife..
That went with her ordering that “ Ginzo “ knife...
It was a TV offer she couldn’t pass up, never needed
sharpening... and cut thru bone.. order one now and get one free.
It was the first and last time she used the credit card...
and that was in 1963.
The knife worked well, she thought , now that was a bargain.
Placed the parts in a bag and headed for the garden...
Body parts were buried in the dirt..
And she smiled upon the burning of her shirt..
She took the roast to her Garden Club meeting..
It was a special event and guess who was speaking ?
The Chief of Police and his subject was on spousal beating..
Everyone enjoyed the roast as the Captain sliced with the " ginzo " knife....
And by the way he said he would like the recipe for his wife....
The weeks went by, she was happy everyday...
And then it happened, is was the first of May.
The big event she had waited for all year..
Her entry of the “ Amorphophallus Titanum “...
Oh how proud she was.. when awarded top prize..
A very rare plant, judge #1 said...with a very weird odor..
And it’s not very pleasant...as a matter of fact
It smells like rotting meat , said another, sorta sour..
Which is why said judge #2..it’s commonly called the ... "Corpse Flower “...

*** FACT : This flower is native to the rainforest and rarely blooms, but when it does, it's one of 140 recorded in history..most recently displayed in New York City in 2012..
