A colonel with a big moustache

A vicar's dotty wife

An actress somewhat past her prime

...a smeared and bloody knife

The chiming of a churchyard clock

The roses round the door

A cup of tea and seed cake

...a body on the floor

A plush hotel in London

A cabin on the Nile

The 4.15 from Paddington

...a killer's twisted smile

The It girl and the playboy

The doctor and the spiv

A dinner gong at half-past eight

...just one of them will live

The country pile, the London pad

The tent in Istanbul

The villa in the South of France

...the corpse beside the pool

The portly man with patent hair

The spinster with her knitting

The fiendish plot all figured out

...those wee grey cells permitting

Never has there ever been

More charming tales of crime

The world you gave us, Agatha

Has not been lost with time

  7. Awesome!

  8. A very good offering in classic ballad stanza form, my favorite form.  This is one of the best I have seen in a while, and to be honest, I am a bit envious seeing as how I am a big Agatha Christie fan.  Well done and a star.  That one might get you into the new tangled web book, who knows.


  9. I believe you have charmed us all by your poetry! Very nicely done!!

    Cheers!
