Chic Queen faces Guillotine
Alluring and fashionable was Marie Antoinette,
Who played at being shepherdess and coquette.
But the Queen's clothes and games were expensive,
And the starving peasants, who paid, grew restive.
So, finally, in Revolution, rose France's citizenry,
And stripped pretty Marie of all her riches and finery.
France's once hot and "oh so chic" beauty Queen,
Met her fate by the cold blade of the guillotine.
