Gain


Gain

What is the gain?
Was it asked by Cain,
or a cowboy of Zane?
Did Miss Marple disdain
peering through the pane,
as Hercule did on the train?
Was it in the anguished brain
of that famous Dane?
Why did the boy in the lane
only wanted wool not grain?
Maybe they might in main 
know what was the gain.


"that famous Dane"
