Postal Seduction

Say It Again Villanelle-Shaped

They all left with the violent spun

Hermes helped them carry the flambeau

Pass this on to the next generation

*

All invites and chairs removed, no fun

Nothing to see for the spectators of this show

They all left with the violent spun

*

I look out the window and see who won

Red ribbons dance in slow motion around the château

Pass this on to the next generation

*

The bells announce ingloriously, men shun

They need to take care of their portmanteaux

They all left with the violent spun

*

They don’t deserve veneration

They always have something in tow

Pass this on to the next generation

*

Everything packed in boxes and sent for reparation

No need to affix stamps or wear a chapeau

They all left with the violent spun

Pass this on to the next generation
