From Titmouse to Death by Poison

Starting Point:
Titmouse

The name of my future gentleman’s establishment?
Or if things don’t go so well
my future stripper name?

Google search: most common stripper name
Answer: Crystal

A deceiving name
This compound word
Which is neither tit nor mouse
But actually a bird

Compound birds

Buy a dozen birds to try
Plucked, deboned, and floured of course
Pound them flat, stack to the sky
Spread the pastry, add the sauce
Remember to set the oven on high
Cos there’s no time for remorse
When making compound bird pie

Remember that old
Nursery Rhyme

I don’t know who was more of an idiot
A chef, who somehow managed to bake a pie of four and twenty black birds without killing them
Or
A king upon being served a pie big enough to house twenty-four squawking, writhing, shitting birds, says, ‘let’s cut this sucker open.’

They say
You are what you eat

When someone is trying to poison you?

Google search: percentage of murders by poisoning
Answer: less than 1% (US statistics) but on the rise.
