Death Opened A Boutique

On friday the 13th, death opened a boutique

on the champs elysees

selling fear and dismay

open seven days a week

it was de rieugur and chic

for the wicked and the weak

death opened a boutique

people came from far and near

to buy poison and tears

the decor was delectable

the service impeccable

it was expensive - what isn't?

it sold black plague and socialism

there was no reason to exist
