Poetry Corner: Stop That

I told you to stop that,
stop tickling me.
I told you to stop that,
don't follow that bee.

I told you to stop that,
you breathe much too loud.
I told you to stop that,
your head's on a cloud.

I told you to stop that,
don't wish on a star.
I told you to stop that,
don't be who you are.

I told you to stop that,
That's all madam said.
I told you to stop that,
guillotine took madam's head.

Yay for mixing creative writing and history. I had a sister who was very repressive while I was a teen. I mixed that frustration with the French Revolution and came up with this twisted little piece. Not brilliant, but true nonetheless.
