Mar 31
She is so sweet and nice
Always ready to give beneficial advice
The height of posh society
Not an ounce of impropriety
Everything a lady should be
She is courteous and kind
A lady refined
She is never heard
To utter a disrespectful word
According to all, she is perfection
And doesn’t draw attention
But as the sun sets & the moon arises
She takes off her disguises
In her room she sits alone
Where her true self is shown
Her sweet, lady-like, smile
The smile of a crocodile
She is cruel to the core
Greedy, always wanting more
Every advice is with malice intent
Her staff members live in torment
For if they even give the slightest glance
They are whipped then fired without a second chance
She must have all the latest things from Italy to France
Her poor, old father must work double time to cover the finance
When doing a good deed she expects a favor returned
And you better do it or face getting spurned
If she appears to be perfect, yet a little shady
Its best to stay clear of this evil young lady
As you will quickly and brutally learn
How spiteful and vindictive she will turn
And she will once again put on her disguises in the morning
So be weary & wise by her disguise as I give you this warning
She may appear innocent and sweet
But down deep, she is the worst person you will ever meet.
