As in …
I will fill in the blank a bit later.
But Murder it was – of that I have no doubt.
Another innocent victim needlessly cut down and what have or what will the police do about it?
Absolutely nothing.
And yet, legions of cops appear on the annual Sunshine list.
So are we getting our monies worth? I think not.
Now let me fill in the blank:
As in Most Crustaceans.
And to be more precise, I am speaking here of the premature demise of Mickey the Lobster.
Mickey was found in a box – alive – yesterday morning, in a parking lot in St. Catharines, Ontario. Given that lobsters sell for between 10 and 11 dollars per pound, I suspect his loss was inadvertent. But whether it was or not – really does not touch upon the crime to come.
From there he (or she) was trucked to the city’s Humane Society where some Wisenheimer, undertook to return Mickey to the sea … the Atlantic Ocean … some 1000 miles away.
But poor Mickey never got to make the trip home. Indeed he died under mysterious circumstances sometime last night.
Quelle Surprise.
I know what happened and I suspect you do as well.
Once the Wisenheimer made his reckless promise; long time donors to the shelter began calling:
‘If you have enough money to send a lobster 1,000 miles to the sea, obviously you are no longer in need of mine”.
And then what about the cats and dogs that overpopulate our centres – would the money not be better spent on them and so on and so on.
I can see an emergency meeting going late into last night to come up with a plan to undo the damage.
The meeting would eventually come to an end with the Chair directing Wisenheimer to ‘do the right thing and get it done before the sun rises tomorrow’.
And he did. No witnesses – no one to care about poor Mickey’
How went about doing his dastardly deed, does not even bear thinking about.
Unconfirmed reports state that several witnesses saw the body earlier today one reporting that it “was scarlet all over as if it had been badly burned”.
Another opined that it looked to them that the poor crustacean had succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Of interest to us, none reported death by natural causes.
I have another theory though, I suspect Wisenheimer will be having lobster dinner tonight.
As I see it …
