Lizzy Borden Took an Axe

Lizzy Borden Took an Axe...
Gave Her Father Forty Whacks...
When She Saw What She Had Done...
Gave Her Mother forty-one!


Via Wikipedia: Lizzie Andrew Borden (July 19, 1860 – June 1, 1927) was an American woman who was tried and acquitted in the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts.  Following her release from the prison in which she had been held during the trial, Borden chose to remain a resident of Fall River, Massachusetts, for the rest of her life, despite facing significant ostracism. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts elected to charge no one else with the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden; speculation about the crimes still continues more than 100 years later.
