Oh, man. The book that this poem is based off of, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, is creeepy. I had a nightmare after reading it, believe it or not. All my friends and family died. Anyway, here it is!

Hmm, there is a similar song in German, only it says ten little negros instad of indian boys... Probably depends on the colonies one had when the texts were written...

Yes, actually, I've heard of the negros one too. I don't know who made them up, though.

hmmm, I can't even remember what happens in the German version of that song, never liked it much, but maybe I should read this Agatha Christie story...

I just looked it up at amazon and found that the book originally was not published as "Tenn Little Indians", but as "Ten little n-word"... The title was apparently changed because of the inherent racism...

And yes, the plot seems really scary...

No, that was just the poem;... the book it was based on was called "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie.
