Ten Little RIOites
by Agatha Christie with alterations by Olive Di Cintio

Ten little RIOites went out to dine;
Jett choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little RIOites sat up very late;
Katie overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little RIOites traveling in Devon;
Mary said he’d stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little RIOites chopping up sticks;
Robin chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little RIOites playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung Angie and then there were five. 
Five little RIOites going in for law,
Emily got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little RIOites going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed Alexis and then there were three.
Three little RIOites walking in the Zoo;
A big bear hugged Hazza and then there were two.
Two little RIOites sitting in the sun;
Newbie got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Olive left all alone;
She went and hanged herself and then there were none.

Vortex - by Emma Train

Found Poem by Mary Innes

Across a perfect summer
Blooming shadow shall rain
Green be a thousand plums
Celebrate this child.

It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's Captain Obvious! Here to keep us entertained. Thanks Captain Obvious!

You Have Touched Our Touch Not Stuff by RIO

Now that you have touched our stuff
Beware the wrath that follows
We shall creep inside your brain
And vandalize that hollow
We'll steal all your candy bars
And make you stand on Lego
We'll put cyanide in your fountain pens
For you have crossed swords with RIO!

REALITY by Mary Innes

Remember when the
End was nigh
And all the world asleep. We
Left the sun to face the day and
In the perilous dawn we meet. When
Tomorrow comes we'll face the pain that
Yesterday sent to sleep.

MURDER by Mary Innes

Meet me in the alley way
Under the neon light
Reach up and grab the silver knife
Down with in the violent fight. The
End is here. This is the year.
Read blood all on the floor.
