She's the look of a hothouse flower; She seems to be losing power- Like a rose in need of summer shower! Like a bird retreating to summer bower! Hair plastered, her dress a mess, She's been under a current stress. Susanna didn't mean to transgress, But, she's a tendency to obsess. Her eyes wild, and full of remorse, Desperation left Susanna no recourse. When comes the time for the discourse, She shall wilt, of course! She's a certain look of fright, In her slow and hopeless flight. Though none yet know of her plight, Her future's suddenly not so bright! She's the look of a desert bloom, Sweltering in some unhappy room. Susanna seems about to swoon; She's danced to the wrong tune!

Enjoyed this light-hearted romp (with a tinge of what-might-have-been), Evelyn. Thanks! ~ Gershon
