Aqua Tofana

Aqua Tofana

600 husbands..
poisoned by their wives.
What did they do?
to lose their lives...
Aqua Tofana..
Belladonna, arsenic and lead
Aqua Tofana claimed them,
knocked them down dead,
what is a 16th century
battered wife to do..?
Make her Master a stew !
and end the misery.
Unlucky,
Guilia Tofana..
her three daughters,
her employees,
all perished in Naples,.
for their murderous crimes
and illicit business of
despatching mortals..
husband...let's eat
a hearty meal..
I fancy italian tonight.
