I had once known a young lady, Taller & fairer than me was she. With elfin ears she looked cuter, Of high traits was she an owner. Attracted I was strongly to her, Little did I know what it spelt. Now I know it read danger, But the damage has been inflicted. Pointless, all this repenting is now, How could I let someone so close? On her own bed she had me lying, I waited for the guillotine to fall.
