First Known Use:
circa 1889
61: sake
She sipped her sake, smiled
and sighed—
She was so glad that I had died.
Of course, she’d helped me on my way—
That poison kind of spoiled my day.
Because I loved her—for her sake—
I said I loved her (poisoned) cake.
So now I’m lying on the floor—
I’ll eat no cake forevermore.
My only consolation prize?
That poisoned sake … her
shocked eyes
As she has realized her fate—
Revenge is sweet—there’s no debate!
