The Fine Art Of Poisoning It's quite an elaborate scheme The fine art of poisoning The dose to comatose Slyly administered Not for the frail of heart The vengeful must play their part A friend to the bitter end Or so they say Nice and slow Misfortune will flow Peril in the nursery It seems a tainted pastry One bite what a dreadful fright She was such a delicate little dish A pleasant parlour gathering Quicksilver concealed in a ruby ring Two lumps or three I have always adored bergamot tea Nice and slow Misfortune will flow But who will know?
