nail that he drove through his wife's forehead.
C9aug
He sold used office furniture out

there on San Fernando Road and
G13#11 C7#9
assumed a $30,000 loan at
F13
15 1/4 % and put a down payment
Bb13 F13
on a little two bedroom place.
F13 Bb13
His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Made good bloody mary's, kept her mouth
F13
shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua

and was totally blind.

G13#11
Frank drove a little sedan.

They were so happy.

One night Frank was on his way home

from work, stopped at the liquor store,
picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s.

Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can.

Drove home, doused everything in

the house, torched it.
C9aug
Parked across the street laughing,
F13 Ab13#11
watching it burn, all Halloween
