Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Off She Switched


Marie Antoinette, the French Queen,

Was taken from her prison suite

For her turn at the guillotine.

Her maker she was gonna meet.

On her way out, she noticed that

All of the light switches were on

In her prison suite habitat,

Seemed a wasteful phenomenon,

Since no one remained in the cell.

She asked guards to switch the lights off.

The guards told her to go to hell.

Let lights eat cake the guards did scoff.


Her hands kept bound, the Queen instead

Turned the switches off with her head.
