Michelle Deserved More

Adorable Michelle
A blonde bombshell
A chic mademoiselle
Moved like a gazelle

Vicious rumours ripe to dispel
Everything between heaven and hell    
Around on the carousel from rebel to infidel
Jealous wagging tongues, wasn’t hard to tell

Really she was into music and aquarelle
French cuisine with béchamel and caramel     
Strolling shores collecting seashell
Cultivating roses, pimpernel and bluebell      

Fell hard for some guy with a rose at his lapel
Who wrote her a crude villanelle 
Penned using an old fashioned inkwell
And it worked as a potent love spell

Before the dinner bell
Had her up in a motel
Watching Emmanuel
Drinking chilled zinfandel
