She has got a lie to tell!


She has got a lie to tell!

As a reader,
The finest thing you can do,
Is to sense her,
And also the nastiest thing is,
To sense her.
For her secrets are not,
As prosaic as they seem;
So keep pretending only,
That you know nothing,
About her blithe-eyed lie,
And let arrive the time,
When she would die,
With what she was born,
Underneath her long flowing gown,
With corsage tucked above —
A mound of mysterious words,
Some thorny scarlet roses,
And a sleeping hound!
