If I Had a Guillotine

If I had a wooden guillotine with a sharp head blade
Who would I practice on?

Would it be my Aunt Tee 
Who embarrassed me in 1964 
By making my open my size 43 Double D lacy bra
in front of the relatives when I did not even wear
a training bra yet?

Would I use it on my arch enemy, Mrs. Harry, who made 
my student teaching experience a living hell? 

Would I use it on my seventh grade art teacher wo
made me hate art?

I ponder and I smile at the possibilities.
