    Ten Little Niggers

    The poem describes 10 little black boys who each meet an unfortunate demise, from choking to being stung by a bee to drowning at sea, reducing their number from 10 to none. Each verse follows the same pattern where one boy dies, illustrated with racist language and imagery, until in the end the sole survivor hangs himself in despair at being left alone.

    Ten Little Niggers

    Ten little nigger boys went out to dine;


    One choked his little self and then there were Nine.
    Nine little nigger boys sat up very late;
    One overslept himself and then there were Eight.
    Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon;
    One said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.
    Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks;
    One chopped himself in halves and then there were Six.
    Six little nigger boys playing with a hive;
    A bumble bee stung one and then there were Five.
    Five little nigger boys going in for law;
    One got into Chancery and then there were Four.
    Four little nigger boys going out to sea;
    A red herring swallowed one and then there were Three.
    Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo;
    A big bear hugged one and then there were Two.
    Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun;
    One got frizzled up and then there was One.
    One little nigger boy left all alone;
    He went out and hanged himself And Then There Were
    None.
