Whodunnit<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

It happened on the Orient Express;
\na shadow of a woman getting undressed.
\nTwo boys peeked while playing a game of chess,
\ncurious about what they might see,
\ntill a loud noise made them both flee
\nright past a tall dark man in white,
\nwho startled the boys and gave them a fright,
\nso the boys tried to find a place to hide.
\nThen someone shouted: “A lady has died!”
\nand a crowd rushed past their hiding place,
\nThe boys hoped they had not left a trace
\nof their presence in the hallway.
\nThey both crept to see where the body lay,
\nbut it was not the woman they had seen!
\nThe other woman was much more lean.
\nThey suspected the tall man in white
\nuntil he gave them each a bottle of Sprite
\nand told them: “there’s nothing to see here boys.
\nNow run along and play with your toys.”<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then the train made a sudden stop.
\nOnto the train hopped a uniformed cop
\nwho leaned over the body and said: “This is odd!”
\n“It seems she was poisoned, we must call the squad
\nin a manhunt for the woman’s killer!”
\nThe body was examined by Dr. Miller,
\nwho finally pronounced: “she is just asleep!”
\nand OMG it’s Meryl Streep!”
\nEveryone got her autograph
\nand had an oriental expressive laugh.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
