Strange Alice

Strange Alice Young pretty girl, pink cheeks and sweet Incarcerated, defeated at an early age Locked in jail for crimes committed on the streets Hauled away for killings in a rage Soft blue eyes hide anger in sweet Alice Her lover could not free her from her mind Or the bars that house her and her malice She had no tolerance for weakness of any kind John is a timid man, evident in his demeanor That sickened captured Alice who hates a coward He dares not intervene to make her meaner She would strangle him on the spot if angered They were not the perfect couple Better dead than alive was her motto when it came to men If they let her out for a second with her scruples She would kill him dead and call him friend Perhaps if given half a chance she would reform Pretty young girls don’t belong behind prison bars She promises not to kill again and mourned Swore not to murder men, as long as they were not from Mars
