The Evil Duchess

The evil duchess of New York Ate not but fancy pies of pork. She scraped her knife, she scraped her fork; She should have learned to use a cork, Because a time ago in Maine, She stuffed her face too full one night. She gave her prince a jolting fright, Left others writhing in delight, To finally see her highness slain.

Wow! Way to cool, Nicole! I liked the story and the nice rhymes too. Enjoyed it! It has a dark edge humor to it, but still sounds and reads humorous to me more than anything. I smiled here and there reading it. Best to you! xxx D.

Interesting. Is this a playful spoof of a real person?
