She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWtPNqmvXm
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeEqRIM1O5
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABj2jMN5Wk
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRfSwgBM75
My daughter in law, a high school dropout?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1bXUBPTvS

When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSfsfhSGT6
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQJjqnHq3w
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMS8Mm6JaE
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrpPpXBGQW
Without her, my son was going to be a rich enough oligarchy,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf3NPsp5CC
Marrying a girl that matched his status, a girl with endless dowry,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPdPTFMxPh

I suspect that witch cursed him, right before sweet death left her dim,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6qlCTGcEB
And now, his death had left me quite weak,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYURzfyIp7
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguTTN5Bpsq
I only wanted best for him, only wanted him to succeed,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNb1sRNMCo
But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYhsu4luQe
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1gcHaDnrG
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF6uklWnxK
Now his face purple, dark marks tainted on his neck,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlJKBVmfAw
My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
