Sweet Madeline

Joanna Davis Sweet Madeline with her eyes of gray, whose beauty could steal your breath away With a body no shift or tunic could hide, but admiring glances she took in her stride Sweet Madeline with her eyes of gray, would smile coyly, as she went on her way Until Tom Bradley caught her eye on the Moors, and her manicure hands turned into claws Sweet Madeline with her eyes of gray, stole Tom’s heart that very same day She diced it with onions, paprika and spice, then served it bien fait, on a bed of cold rice Sweet Mad Elaine with her eyes of gray, was still smiling sweetly...when they took her away!

Reads like she's someone you know. That's a clever switch from 'Madeline' to 'Mad Elaine.'
