Ten Little Scoundrels: A Poem
Ten Little Scoundrels arrived to dine,
One's luck flopped and then there were nine.
Nine Little Scoundrels, they'd taken the bait.
One found the future, and then there were eight.
Eight little Scoundrels, victim to a leaven,
One broke the scale, and then there were seven.
Seven Little Scoundrels, three out of the mix,
One got let out, and then there were six.
Six Little Scoundrels, trying to survive,
One was free, and then there were five.
Five Little Scoundrels, one settled their score,
One got too hot, and then there were four.
Four Little Scoundrels, All wanted to be free,
One's past caught up to them, and then there were three.
Three Little Scoundrels, at their last clue,
One went to hide, and then there were two.
Two Little Scoundrels. the Alterationist had his fun,
He was defeated.
And then there was one.
