View to a Kill

One from the book today, for the anniversary. Here’s the shortened version to fit Twitter:

The murder of President Kennedy/

Made many ask angrily when ‘ad’ e/

Deserved such a fate?/

And led to debate/

Over who was behind this obscenity.///

And here’s the original:

The murder of President Kennedy/

Made many folks loudly ask when ‘ad’ e/

Deserved such a fate?/

And sparked much debate/

As to who was behind this obscenity.///

Not too much compromise in the changes, I think – sometimes the discipline of 140 characters can lead to valuable tightening.
