One night on it, someone was murdered, almost one hundred years ago;
So they called in the World’s best Detective, the famous Hercule Poirot!

His real name was Casetti, Poirot quickly came to see!
He had kidnapped Daisy Armstrong, granddaughter of a actress of the day;
And eventually, did he murder her, then somehow got away!
.
Two theories were presented, for the mystery to be solved;
The first was that Daisy’s relatives, wanted justice to be resolved!
Grieving, one of them paid a visit, to her heinous abductor;
Who was found in his compartment, laying dead upon the floor!
.
Poirot had another hypothesis, he surmised and did believe;
That a stranger got on and killed him, then quickly did he leave!
But this author thinks they were both wrong, and knows who the real killer was;
None other than the ghost of Daisy Armstrong, took the life of this slimy scuzz!
