Madame La Guillotine’s Kiss Of Death Poem by Margaret Alice

Madame La Guillotine’s Kiss Of Death



In happy self-righteous justification,
Margaret Alice walked three blocks
down to Kingsley Building; invoice
resubmitted has been rejected

Official-in-charge says she never received
it, we have to assume a messenger criminally
negligent to exonerate the provisioning official
of all indictment

To save guilty messenger and innocent official
from persecution; I delivered the invoice personally
meeting the official, getting her signature –
if payment remains outstanding

I’ll willingly entrust my head to Madame La
Guillotine: We KNOW the hitch can’t be the
perfect administrative system; the messenger
can’t be criminally negligent

And the official is definitely innocent; if this
venture fails I’ll have to assume I’m the
criminal deserving Madame La
Guillotine’s kiss of death!
