One of my children is reading And Then There Were None, the Agatha Christie novel that explores one man's sense of karmic justice. But that novel was set in the past, so here's a modern day version:
Ten little idiots feeling just fine,
A computer erased one, and then there were nine
Nine little idiots thought they were great,
A Prada stomped on one, and then there were eight
Eight little idiots thinking of Heaven,
A rosary strangled one and then there were seven
Seven little idiots with problems to fix,
A camera stole one's soul, and then there were six
Six little idiots spreading some jive,
One OD'ed on Rogaine, and then there were five
Five little idiots all keeping score,
A sandwich board squashed one, and then there were four
Four little idiots off on a spree,
One got deleted, and then there were three
Three little idiots stirring the stew,
It got too hot, and then there were two
Two little idiots thinking it's fun,
They lost the game, and then there was one
One little idiot starting to cry,
Shook off the dust and then said goodbye.
