Couplet: Dark verse on taboo topic with tribite to Lewis Carroll for some word selections
A lovely lady beguiles a luckless lad Of unwitting others she might have had The fairest face may be foul of heart Deft deceit is how now it shall start Like fated moths drawn to the light Novices can't tell wrong from right This lady then connives confusing witch's what Spins spells that do convince what is not She conjures him to shirk sacred duty So sure he's blinded by her beauty She coyly coddles this beamish boy His twisted thinking in frabjous joy He peers deeply down into her soul Seeing darkness finding blackest coal It hearkens back to Eden's first sin Stirs silent shadows sunk long within Beware that all's not as it seems Beauty's illusion can change what it means Purpose or pulchritude which will impress When next we witness a damsel's distress
