Lolitas

My little darlings you must beware Of predators like Humbert Humbert Picking roses before they bloom Willing to experiment many years too soon Hold on to your innocence my dear young child There will be plenty of time to sow oats wild Grown men who desire twelve year old Lolitas Will rot in hell with sexual offense repeaters

I don't know of Humbert Humbert. I imagine it's someone in the news? Good poem, Joe. And today's 12 year olds often do seem like Lolitas!
