i had a friend named Taylor we went to school together. and folks used to admire her, for she was a conqueror. wanted to become a doctor, said “won’t be any longer.” but Taylor was a dreamer. fell in love with a liar. he spoke of his manor, his mansions and many more where they both lived forever. she ran off with her lover, i thought it would be forever. then many years were over and I met Taylor once more was skinny; her skin no fair. she was selling woods from moor. banana cues and other with seven children with her. and her husband who drank beer shouted at her, “you are a bore.”
