Esmerelda was brainy, bright, mentally keen In the quick-witted department almost obscene She’s sagacious, perspicacious, totally shrewd To point it out, would be a teensy bit rude We let her get away with things others would not try Her brilliance intimidated more than one guy She’ll stay single forever said her brother Ray She fell in love and eloped with a lover...
