Lizzie Borden

🎶Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her mother 40 whacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty one…

On the morning of August 8, 1892, the bodies of Abby and Andrew Borden were found in their Fall River home. Mrs. Borden was killed while cleaning the guest room and Mr. Borden was murdered as he napped on the couch. The couple’s oldest daughter was out of town, leaving their youngest daughter Lizzie as the prime suspect. Despite being acquitted at trial, it is widely believed that Lizzie Borden managed to get away with the murder of her father and stepmother. Also…has anyone noticed how dark nursery rhymes are?
