Everything she wrote
was a classic. Vials of prussic
acid, toxins with no antidote,
causing death - sudden, spasmodic.
The killer in a respectable coat
cuts cake at the country fair.
At three he plans to take the boat
for Calais, vanish into thin air.
But for the Belgian sitting in his chair
who with cat-like eyesight sees
in the colour of the culprit's hair
his missing puzzle piece.
The high priestess of murder mysteries twisty,
thank goodness for Dame Agatha Christie.
