Green Velvet

Impoverished, destitute no money to spare This woman with green eyes and cascading hair On a mission to find something to wear Impress she must as though she hadn't a care Green velvet drapes hanging in her foyer Torn down and fashioned just for her This woman in green shown like a mare Femme fatal, Scarlett O'Hara, as no others compare Dressed to kill as only she dare In the green dress that she did wear
