Classic humorous and funny poems using parody - an imitation of a writer, artist, or genre, with exaggeration for comic effect. SAINTE MARGERIE  lim feet than lilies tenderer,--
Margerie!
That scarce upbore the body of her,
Naked upon the stones they were;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
White as a shroud the silken gown,--
Margerie!
That flowed from shoulder to ankle down,
With clear blue shadows along it thrown;
C'est Sainte Margerie!
On back and bosom withouten braid,--
Margerie!
In crispËd glory of darkling red,
Round creamy temples her hair was shed;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
Eyes, like a dim sea, viewed from far,--
Margerie!
Lips that no earthly love shall mar,
More sweet that lips of mortals are;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
The chamber walls are cracked and bare;--
Margerie!
Without the gossips stood astare
At men her bed away that bare;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
Five pennies lay her hand within,--
Margerie!
So she her fair soul's weal might win,
Little she reck'd of dule or teen;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
Dank straw from dunghill gathered,--
Margerie!
Where fragrant swine have made their bed,
Thereon her body shall be laid;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
Three pennies to the poor in dole,--
Margerie!
One to the clerk her knell shall toll,
And one to masses for her soul;--
C'est Sainte Margerie!
Unknown.
