Flowers in a garden blooming in sunlight,
A gentle wind cooling the stagnant air,
Songster Robbins singing merrily.
Squirrels having fun frolicking in trees.
Children squealing and eating fudgesicles.
The ice cream man and his truck rolling away.
Cute chipmunks filling their cheeks with food.
Another peaceful day in the neighborhood
Until a loud gunshot shatters the calm,
And Mr. Jones has killed his unfaithful wife.
