Adriana Jones
Whenever Adriana Jones went down the mall,
We fellas on the streets lasciviously ogled at her:
She was a lady in and beyond and about all,
Calm, adroit and her breed was fairly rare.
She was different from all of us, with a sophisticated pride,
That came from deep her wealthy life; and the blazers
She wore were couture. She was voluptuous from side
To side: and she had all the money to spend on extravaganzas.
And she was always sensationally attired,
And she was always kind when she spoke;
And her lips looked too smooth to be real, desired
By every man of family and every young bloke.
And she was ravishing –yup, most ravishing than a queen –
And majestically studied at a fancy finishing school:
In all, we people thought that she was a lady to preen
To make us wish we were also that beautiful and that cool.
Hence on we wished, and awaited her nuptial day;
For she was aesthetic –a perfect exhibition of God’s art.
And so Adriana Jones, one impeccable Valentine’s Day,
Went home and pierced the blade of a knife through her heart.
