Three Word Wednesday CLI

Written for 3WW.
The words this week are:
Decay, Graceful, and Riot.

Here's mine:

PROLETARIAT? PERHAPS!
Decay and revolution, as graceful as a starvation riot. The proletariat storm The Bastille, hoping for a crust of bread. Polishing her nails, she dismisses them, "give them cake, to eat," she says.

Decay, starvation
Revolution and riot
GRACEFUL SO GRACEFUL
Riot and revolution
Starvation, decay

    Enjoyed both of these - although maybe not if I'd been there.

    I always say 'when in doubt, eat cake!'

    Peace - or should I say piece?

    Life is uncertain, eat desert first...

    And I like your use of the words.

    Both instances...

    Great stuff, Andy. Both are great, but I had to give a little chuckle when reading the first. Let them eat cake, indeed.

    The appearance of grace hides the lack of true grace, thus resulting in ultimate riot.
