Lizzie Borden Society Forum

It's very very late so this may look exceedingly good tonight and decidedly odd in the morning, but for right now.....!!!!

How about taking Franz's suggestion a bit further, how about a Lizzie book similar to Animalia by Graeme Base only about the Borden murders...everyone could contribute...correct...edit...rewrite...and then we could be publish and sell it to ourselves...lol... The writing would be easier than the illustration. Do we have some artists among our group? Something like the The Lizzie Borden Big Book of Alphabet Trivia: Created With Irreverence for Bordenites, Mystery Lovers and Deviant Children.

From A to Z within this tome
You'll peek within the Borden home,
View their slaughter set to verse,
Only incest could make it worse.
Nineteen whacks to Abby's head,
Bloodlust killer or don't know dead?
A thousand clues, but no weapon.
Did the cops do diligence
....or were they schleppin'?

A is for Andrew and Abby, old geezers
E is for Emma who looked like a stick
H is for Hatchet
P is for Prussic acid and Pence
etc.

If you're bored toss something in...:-) If you're not bored toss something in...:-)Let's DO something...even if it involves revisionist history...

Well, this certainty is different from other topics, Debbie! You may be right, this could be fun!
