Doing In Cold Blood


DOING IN COLD BLOOD


Capote’s “In Cold Blood”—

Was actually a Three-way
Sordid pulp fiction Novel
If you know what I mean

A Novel and two Flicks—
Based on 4 grisly murders
In Holcomb Kansas back
In 1959 when I was a kid

Capote’s non-fiction novel—
Had all the class of tres chic
Sophisticated New Yorker
Style and Slick Decadence

THE TWO FLICKS


The first flick in 1967—
Directed by Richard Brooks
And starring Robert Blake’s
Stunning portrayal of me

The second flick in 2005—
With Philip Seymour Hoffman
As the troubled, ingratiating
Ambitious queer Capote

The Clutter murders in 1959—
Capote’s book published in 1965
Two years later Brook’s film then
Hoffman’s masturbation piece
