I’ve made a huge change in my life –  
I’ve decided to murder my wife  
So I’ve loaded my gun  
Took a shot full of rum  
But ended up using a knife.

As I sit here alone in my cell,  
I think I’ll write a villanelle  
I have a good quatrain  
But the last line’s a strain  
And my tercets are sketchy as hell.

Ere long, I’ll be taking a wife
