| Fast, safe, aspirin-free relief
|
| The simple end to minor discomfort
|
| Used by millions for years
|
| No association with danger
|
| Scattered across the land
|
| Arose instances of unexplained deaths
|
| Autopsies reveal the presence of --cyanide
|
| Then by coincidence the facts are revealed
|
| Connections between the deaths are made
|
| Somewhere in the chain from factory to shelf
|
| The capsules were tainted
|
| We must question the motive of a killer
|
| Who kills without vengeance, without apparent reason
|
| And leaves death upon the innocent
|
| Was it hatred for the entire human race
|
| Or an attempt to destroy a corporation?
|
| The small bottle of relief — the discolored capsules
|
| The acrid odor of bitter almonds
|
| Goes unnoticed into the body
|
| It is soon absorbed into the blood
|
| And destroys the human system
|
| The victim falls to the floor
|
| And dies in a matter of seconds
|
| The search begins as the shelves are cleared
|
| The horror spreads through the press
|
| The murderer will most likely escape discovery —
|
| And perhaps strike again! |
