Ten Little Indians
Category: Poetry
Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;One choked his little self and then there were nine.Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;One overslept himself and then there were eight.Eight little Indian boys traveling in Devon;One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks;One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.Six little Indian boys playing with a hive;A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.Five little Indian boys going in for law;One got in Chancery and then there were four.Four little Indian boys going out to sea;A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.Three little Indian boys walking in the zoo;A big bear hugged one and then there were two.Two Little Indian boys sitting in the sun;One got frizzled up and then there was one.One little Indian boy left all alone;He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.
I did not write this poem, but it is one of my favorites!
