Della and Hank love a murder mystery party
Sometimes they double date with friends Lulu and Marty
Often Lulu’s the victim and the others stay alive
She’s very dramatic and enjoys taking the dive
The killer might be the butler played by local accountant McCarty
**
The dinners are potluck
A favorite is Della’s l’orange a duck
Sometimes it’s black tie
Otherwise it’s tie dye
But it’s always fun break a leg and good luck
**
Last night the telling clue was a chipped champagne flute
And a bad tasting casserole that contained fake eye of newt
The murder weapon was tainted mushroom stew
One of the guests spent all night on the upstairs loo
Otherwise it was quite a clever hoot
**
The next day Lulu realizes she’s lost her ruby necklace
Marty is no help because at times he’s so feckless
Lulu thought maybe it had gone down the kitchen drain
She then realizes her linen dress has a giant punch stain
Marty might be feckless but Lulu’s somewhat clumsy and reckless
**
All the guests know murder’s not a parlor game
But they have lots of fun all the same
Next Saturday the party’s at the home of Dr. Rotel
His parents are the ones who own the Caramel Road Hotel
One year ago for a party murder Rick Rotel took the blame
**
Hank mixes Della a strong bloody mary
But Della likes them better when they’re made by Hank’s brother Jerry
For a hangover the drink’s a marvelous cure
It makes Della feel better cleansed and pure
When Della tells Hank she feels pure he falls over laughing and feels very merry
