Ignorance Is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss,
Said the Little Miss
As she picked the Edelweiss.*

Ah, but tis only bliss
Until you've had a kiss
Replied the Master Kris.

I do not want a kiss
Hissed the Little Miss,
And flicked her hand to dismiss

That cheeky, charming Swiss.

*Note: Edelweiss is symbolic of purity
