Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Name Change

"And Then There Were None," murder she

Wrote - Agatha Christie of fame,

But titled originally

"Ten Little (the N word)" by name.

Taken from an old minstrel song

Sung by children in counting rhyme,

Not then socially deemed as wrong,

It was a dif'rent place and time.

Whether or not Christie did sense

Use of the first title would be

The source and cause of great offense

Remained an unsolved mystery.

Christie did share that this book might

Be her best but so hard to write.
