Marie Antoinette

Come little vixen queen and know this day your time of rule has ended I do say. Once you did reign in deed and sweet tongue so, this my allegiance I no longer owe. When we had no bread you said flippantly, “ s’il vous plaît” let “hoi palloi” eat some cake. “pour l’amour de dieux”, brief remark did rake our souls with you responding puerilely Your dome will roll soon by sharp Guillotine, a retribution for dire rotting scene. Admire your jewels, brightly how they do shine, the stones are nice, some glow red, others green, recline upon settee, enjoy your wine, today could be last you will ever dine.
