Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Paper Cut

The actress, Tallulah Bankhead,
Detested any bad review.
When biting words of here were said,
She'd bite the sayer back and chew.
One time a critic wrote of her
With not one word of compliment.
Anger within began to stir.
A message needed to be sent.
Tallulah read it all, and then
The actress wrote a note to say,
"Critiques are useful to me when"
"I'm sitting here on my bidet."

"Your review is in front of me;"
"And soon, behind me it will be."
