Calypso

Once at the guillotine Now an out-of-focus angel "Crime is shame, not the scaffold!" She's got a '45 strapped To each of her thighs Speaks French with a Martian accent Wishes she was a siren When bathed in happy thoughts Wishes she was the ladybird When her wings Confuse amuse transfuse Into dreams of blood Lukewarm prisoner Detained for seven years Now lies beside her Asking for a helping hand She loosens her corset But tightens her grip
