La Déviation (The Diversion)
by @Carlo-C-Gomez
Marie Antionette
preferred pie over cake,
and briefs over thongs.
A fervour for fashion,
But not a fan of
The Flour War,
nor her ghastly wrongs.
Poufs and panache?
Imprimatur, for sure.
"That's entertainment,"
said the brochure.
Affair of
the diamond necklace,
such a coup.
A material girl,
how about you?
Now remember,
how comely the rose
when she was so rich and red.
But also the onus
to how she lost
her pretty little head.
