Joanna Daniel Poet Double Dactyl

A Piece of Cake

Clickety clackety
Queen Marie Antoinette
"Cake let them eat", she said
When they'd no bread

Due to her callousness,
Improvisational
French mob decided then
"Off with her head"

Kim Rodrigues February 9, 2021 at 7:13 PM Nice one but not so nice for the cake eater. She couldn’t have her cake and eat it too.
