Profiling A Killer

They profiled the killer
From a half eaten apple
Found at the scene

An eater of fruit
Especially apples
Easily tempted
Easily bored

The angle of his teeth
Forensically spoke
Of average height
Above average IQ
His bite was forthright
Compensation they thought
For early abuse

They traced the apple
To its original tree
And rebuilt it on screen
Green and unbitten
And turned it around
Three sixty degrees
And virtually sliced it
Though not to the core

Working from his saliva
They re-enacted his life
Those bingo nights
Those trips to the sea
The budget was tight
A low cost production
In black and white
No lighting or sound

After some years
They called in a mystic
Who called in a psychic
Who advised
This hadn't been murder
It was suicide
