A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
A footling prince who played his part,
he stole her heart
but then, a turn-about perverse
and worse,
(such shocking news)
her shoes!
Heels, pumps, platforms—hey, you choose.
How sad that she’d been had
by such a scheming fetish cad.
He stole her heart, and worse, her shoes.
