Amber and Lisa

Amber -

One hand carries a teddy bear,
while the other carries a lollipop.

She looks like a strawberry pendulum
whenever she swings.

She looks cute in pink flower pyjamas
and rabbit-like sleeping shoes,
as she goes to bed.

Everyone in school loves her sweet nature.


Lisa -

She sometimes wears black, gothic mascara
all around her eyes,
matching with her black lipstick.

She creeps to her parents' bedroom,
snatches scissors, and creeps back
with them to cut off the heads,
arms, and legs of her dollies.

There's an underground basement in the house,
where she secretly puts a collection
of nasty bugs in a jar...

No one knows about Lisa,
except her cat, Tommy,
and Amber.

Amber and Lisa is the same girl!
