Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time
There lived a girl
She loved to dance and whirl
But her eyes forever were on the chime
She didn’t want to miss a moment
Of the rich life given to her
And wanted to taste every liquor
In a life of total abandonment
But time played a cruel trick
Just when she was in the ripe
The devil decided to swipe
And her time ended in a flick
But her spirit lives on still
Can be seen collecting flowers
Maybe singing from those lonely towers
Or sadly viewing time from some hill
