Time for another Odd Trio prompt: write a post about any topic you want, in whatever form or genre, but make sure it features a slice of cake, a pair of flip-flops, and someone old and wise.

“Let them eat cake” Marie Antoinette supposedly said

And that’s what triggered the French revolution.

Not true, but a great quote and story,

Justifying “Off with their heads.”

And the use of the guillotine.

They couldn’t really flip-flop in those days,

That was their cause, their commitment.

The hungry peasants waged war,

at the ‘behest‘ of Voltaire and Rousseau,

men both old and wise.

And the bloodiest revolt of that century,

produced the French republic,

a beacon of hope for America!

Oh, I love thee, Statue of Liberty!
