How'd That Happen?

How'd That Happen?

The police told me you were dead
I said
How'd That Happen?

They said your corpse was spread
across five black plastic sacks
and stacked inside my shed.
I said
How'd That Happen?

The senior cop (the nice one)
Said what I had done
was pointlessly end the life
of my young and pretty wife
I said no nah no way mate
It's a mistake a fake.
He said give me a break.
He said she's dead and in your shed.
He said your bloody prints are on the walls
and on the sack and now you've got the balls
to answer back and say
How'd That Happen?
