THE WELL WATER Since we were children, we have When the water is especially dark, As we pour marshmallows on top But when we see deep magenta We do not go to the well anymore GIMMICK She is the queen of the artifice, Since her stratagems are mean, There is a group of people weary The trick they decide to play on After they commit this horrible Therefore, they remove her from Life is restored to normalcy in the ARCHAIC The woman sitting in the rocking chair Since she has always been testy, people Because she thinks about the roaring Her boobs underdeveloped, she hates A sorcerer is her boyfriend, his magic After he falls on the grass of her front When will she touch the up-to-date? |
