By strange coincidence, a thunderstorm had been brewing, 
When Mahon doing his grisly work at the bungalow, 
Was dealing with the most grisly job of all,

Built a huge fire in the sitting room, placed her head upon it, 
Then, then the storm broke 
With a violent flash of lightning and an appalling crash of thunder.

When he nerved himself to return, 
The fire had done its work. 
The head was never found...
