My Day in Books
I began the day Accidentally Engaged
before breakfasting on Mango, Mambo and Murder
On my way to work I [was a] Winter Witness [to the] Cajun Kiss of Death
and walked by Seaview Inn
to avoid being In Hot Water
but I made sure to stop On Turpentine Lane
In the office, my boss asked me [if] Mimi Lee Gets a Clue
and sent me to research the Statue of Limitations
At lunch with The Thursday Murder Club
I noticed Chloe Jackson, Sea Glass Saloon
playing a game of Shoot the Moon
When I got home that night,
I imagined myself [in] Peril in Paris
and wondered [how I] Muddled Through
Finally, I went to bed and dreamed about a Desert Getaway
