146 - Infamy

I’m telling you right now

I’ll be infamous one day

They’ll say; “Such a quiet man

Why did he choose this way?”

“He could have had it all

What a waste of talent

He was really nice

And ever so gallant!”

“What set him off?

Why did he turn to crime?

Did he go insane?

Well now he’s doing time!”

“Such a heinous act

It even made the news

We never ever suspected

He’d break all the taboos”

“This beautiful facade

Was really so misleading

Whoever would have thought

He’d be locked up for speeding?”
