The Orient Express *challenge*

The Orient Express     *challenge*

An exquisite way to travel,
Stellar and refined,
A dreamscape unravelled,
A legend of our time.

Breathless stops of grandeur,
Champagne and good eating,
My wife, I look to thank her,
Romantic views in seating.

Soon a mysterious dilemma,
in the cars far ahead,
On our journey to Vienna,
A voice cried out ' he's dead!'

Our adventure of a lifetime,
Cut short by murder on board,
Held capture by Hercule Poirot,
A mass, a guilty horde.

A killer sat amongst us,
Most had guilty sin,
However could he escape us?
Allow the scrutiny to begin.

I love Agatha Christie!!! Really captivating the Orient Express and the emotions. I feel like this should entice those who haven't read her to do so as well as maybe a follow up from you :)

My Dear Simon,

The moment that I learned of your challenge, about the Orient Express
I knew someone would incorporate the murder, and deftly it address
I shall endeavor to respond to it, but you've made it very tough
To approach it from another perspective, and hope it is not guff

All my love,
Larry xxx
