Helen of Troy

Like Helen of Troy;
Your beauty brings joy;
Many will go the extra mile;
So they can win your smile.

Like for Helen of Troy;
Each admirer will use a ploy;
So he can hide his imperfection;
In order to gain your affection.

Like Helen of Troy;
Your love will destroy;
Leaving many disappointed;
Making one anointed.

Like Helen of Troy;
You are the dream of every boy;
But your hand is for a king;
Here I come with your ring.

Like Paris of Troy;
My seduction uses no ploy;
I will come to your isle;
So we walk on the aisle.
