Killer Smurf
.

Michelle Davey, new recruit, was known as "The Smurf",

When suddenly a call came in, to a place out on her turf.

A sudden death reported, a murder there inside,

She was learning the procedure, investigating homicide.
.

She was with her trusted partner, to lead her through the call,

Marcie Flammand, training officer, on point went down the hall.

The house was dark, the power off, flashlights were turned on,

Michelle was hoping all was cool, that the suspect would be gone.
.

Suddenly, someone moved, in a room off to the right,

Her gun came out and pointed there, she was ready for a fight.

Marcie calmed her down right then, sent her in the room,

To check the victim, there inside, who had gone to meet his doom.
.

An old man by the looks of him, laid out on his back,

A knife was buried in his chest, this was no heart attack.

Tony Demers lying there, his face behind a mask,

Trying not to breathe or laugh, was his enormous task.
.

Michelle was inching closer, to check for signs of life,

Her eyes were drawn downward, to the bloody butcher knife.

She reached towards the victim, to check for beating heart,

When Tony stuck his tongue out, and sat up with a start.
.

She gave out with a chilling scream, and headed for the door,

Her squad came in surrounding her, Tony laughing on the floor.

The Smurf had been initiated, it was all done just for fun,

Good thing for victim Tony, that she did not draw her gun!
