For All The Right Reasons by DragonSkulls
Hit Man writing prompt entry

   
    It all started long ago,
    when I was just a teen.
    My sister came home crying.
    I had to intervene.

    I shoved a minor in a well.
    She drowned deep in the hole.
    The teacher for the play at school
    gave Sis the princess role.

    Another day, my aunt complained
    of crap upon her lawn.
    The neighbor and his pooping mutt
    weren't missed once they were gone.

    My brother liked this pretty girl,
    I think her name was Kim.
    Once they found her boyfriend dead,
    she went to prom with him.

    My mother loved the county fair.
    She entered all her pies.
    With competition oddly scarce,
    she'd always take first prize.

    My dad's promotion robbed away.
    His rival simply laughed,
    until misfortune cast him down
    the elevator shaft.

    My uncle joins these prompts on here
    but seldom does he win.
    I'd think it wise for that to change
    or should I kill again?

    I'm sure that some would say it's wrong,
    it seems a little bold.
    But secretly I often share
    and show my heart of gold.

    All my family and my friends,
    they profit from thereof.
    I've never killed for fame or cash...
    I murder out of love.
