The Suicide Shop (French: Le Magasin des suicides) (2012)
Leave it to the French
To give us this unique show,
A dark comedy,
Animated musical.
Your death guaranteed,
Yes, "Death or your money back!"
Prepare to be awed.
Blades, poison, ropes, swords, weights
Oh, choices, choices.
Cutting, drowning, gunshot wound,
Hanging, poisoning,
Seppuku, the most dignified
Everything you need
To depart from this gloomy
Apocalyptic
World where suicide rates soar.
This family shop,
Your final, perfect answer.
Sales advice with glee.
"Has your life been a failure?"
Asks their bold slogan.
"Let's make your death a success!"
Oh so depressing
Nothing to look forward to.
Till Alan Tuvache,
Laughing and smiling all day,
To his parents' shame.
With the neighborhood children,
They turn those frowns upside down.
Yes, he saves the day,
Sister finds love and marriage,
Their goods are now crêpes.
His father the last to change,
Ingrained in his ways.
All it takes is cleverness,
Musical numbers,
Coordination with friends,
And a trampoline.
Not suitable for children,
This is obvious.
Something serious made light,
Offensive to some,
For suicide is not so
Easily conquered.
The animation and songs
Need some improvement,
Yet I thought the premise great,
Characters charming,
Song lyrics hilarious,
Ending with artful credits.
