This art & essay is somewhat different from my usual fare, as it is more tongue in cheek, written in the tradition of the dark Mother Goose nursery rhymes, which are laced with murder and mayhem.—

Coarsely chopped scorn

and wild white venom

simmered

in the black beast stew;

in his cups;

much too late for supper.

She met him

with the cake knife

to serve him just deserts.
