Beauty's Surprise

The magic in her voice The music in her heart The whirlwind of her gait The whisper of her fate Countenance so merry Personality light and airy By day, like sparkling wine By night, lustrous star-shine Life and love at her fingertips Allure, the promise of her lips Suitors came from near and far Laying gifts at her altar Until one day, to their surprise The anger in her soul did rise Proving beauty's not always wise ~ What am I? Some kind of prize?"

Kind of reminds me of Madelyn Khan as Lily Von Schtup in Blazing Saddles. Nicely done my friend...loved the surprise ending.
