Le Rondeau du guillotiné
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Flac ! le rasoir au dos de plomb
Vient de crouler comme une masse !
Il est tombé net et d’aplomb :
La tête sautille et grimace,
Et le corps gît tout de son long.
Sur le signe d’un monsieur blond,
Le décapité qu’on ramasse
Est coffré, chargé : c’est pas long !
Flac !
Le char va comme l’aquilon,
Et dans un coin où l’eau s’amasse
Et que visite la limace,
Un trou jaune, argileux, oblong
Reçoit la boîte à violon :
Flac !
