Le Suicide d’ Ophelie


Ophelie climbed down the railway embankment

And stood on the fast line

An express train carrying

Senior members of the opposition party

Was only minutes away

She would die for a cause

A good cause

Ophelie would change into a block of concrete

And the train would be wrecked

Many would die including members and supporters

Of the opposition party

Nothing happened

Ophelie waited for days

But a revolutionary group

Had already attacked the train

All the members and supporters

Of the opposition party

Had been thoroughly ventilated

The country was now a one party state

But nobody had thought to tell Concrete Ophelie

Who is now sadly part of a nearby bridge
