A Killer Caught Red Handed by Guy Belleranti

 

Someone threw Grandpa Joe

Down the basement stairs.

Detectives Cox and Murphy

Questioned Joe's two heirs.

"I didn't touch my Granddad,"

Big red-haired Harvey said.

"I didn't kill him either,"

Growled his bald brother Fred.

"You're a liar, Harvey,"

Said Murphy with a glare.

"See what Joe had in his hands?

Some strands of your red hair."
