She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHINgCAoCG2
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzRLsBhEe
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYDzXH4IGt
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZT2sEGf7b
My daughter in law, a high school dropout?346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpdOlc5vT6

When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXWLvzihTZ
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDX2jCXqej
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFADSilGrq9
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBu9V8Omjr

And now, his death had left me quite weak,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5k2gQxJBB
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjZWGxkHah

But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeC5LHi8uM
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M5X2ee5jG
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhPBT4KMZo
Now his face purple, dark marks tainted on his neck,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL8a2pSvcg
My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
