I was Hangin' with Miss Marple Last Week
“I think, my dear, we
won't talk any more about murder
during tea. Such an unpleasant subject.”
-4:50 from Paddington
I visited Miss Marple this
past week
In her little home in St.
Mary Mead
Fluffy in her appearance
and pink of cheek
Troweling with vehemence another
garden weed
Kindness itself, she asked
me to sit down
On a wooden bench near the
hollyhock
A warm soft evening with
the bees around
And the hourly chime from
the old church clock
Tea and scandal at four, soft-scented
soap –
And in Pentonville, forlorn of any hope
A murderer awaiting the
hangman’s rope
