Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Mata Hari

Mata Hari, courtesan who

Used her skills for profit and fun.

A lot of spying she did do

For both sides during World War I.

Affairs she carried on both with

French and German blab johns to shock

The prudish with some fact, some myth,

Secrets she got from pillow talk.

In due course as the war did end

Both sides did charge her as a spy,

Being between the sheets foe's friend,

Tried by the French, sentenced to die.

Mata Hari with one last nod

Blew a kiss to her firing squad.
