Title: Black Peter: Sins of the Father

A/N: I'd normally post such things on Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page, but I ended up being able to make this exactly 60 words, so here you go!

The sins of the father on daughter and wife
Portend exultation when ceaseth his life.
The sins of the father arrive on the son,
By penury, prison, suspicion undone.
Thus sin begat sorrow and hatred alike
Foretelling its end at the end of a spike.
In mystery asea, as in mystery ashore,
The sin that’s uncovered will fester no more.
