What might be a reason why Agatha Christie chose the poem: "Ten Little Soldier Boys" to base the sequence of murders in her novel?

The poem was obviously written by the murderer as a warning to the house guests. Agatha Christie uses the poem to show the reader that the murderer is a poet of some sort.

The deaths of each boy in the poem are odd and require the reader to use inferring skills to predict how that death may occur as a figurative interpretation of the one presented in the poem

The innocence of the poem adds an ironic creepiness to the premise of the novel. In addition, the prescribed method of how possible upcoming deaths will occur ratchets up the suspense.

Both B and C
