LAST PUBLIC EXECUTION IN FRANCE 17 JUNE 1939
Although his life was blighted
He expected to be Knighted
Arise Sir Paul ~ He was enthralled
He smiled up at the Queen
But it was not the Sword of State
But Madame Guillotine !
He paid the price ~ It wasn't nice
Now he was daed ~ He'd lost 'is 'ed !
His body lifeless lay
Now he had nothing more to say
He's dead ~ He's lost 'is 'ed
Inside the basket he surmised
Was it something that I did
Or ~ something that I said ?
The most unkindest cut of all
A bitter bitter blow
What caused his fate ?
To lose his pate
Now he will never know !
The moral of this tale is clearly seen
Don't intercourse with Madame Guillotine

Thanks CHRIS ~ it is a FUN POEM off the top of my head. People like humour (and chocolate !) which is why they empathise and comment ~ OK ! Its not the structural and linguistic quality of the poem that counts on MPS it's the EMPATHY ~ AMEN ! Hugs back to you ~ BRIAN
