Miss Marple is a famous sleuth She investigates and gets the truth Murder intriguing has been committed Just as well she's quite quick-witted. Whom does this crime benefit most? We can rule out our charming host Victim was found dead in his room Around his body flowers strewn. Completely by accident Marple saw Delivery of flowers at kitchen door Where busy maid spends her day All mundane tasks are sent her way. She might be poor, but that blackguard Sent flowers with invite scrawled on card! Never expecting she would not comply The fillet knife aided his dying sigh. Flowers she threw in such distress Then walked away from mortal mess Bravely she sought Marple's advice Who said 'she was skating on rather thin ice'. Enigma surrounds this long closed case The victim, no gentleman was a disgrace Home in her cottage, thinking things through Marple wondered what Poirot would do?
