A Rat surrendered
here
A brief career
of Cheer
And Fraud and
Fear.
Of Ignominy's
due
Let all addicted
to
Beware -
The most
obliging Trap
It's tendency
to snap
Cannot resist -
Temptation is
the Friend
Repugnantly
resigned
At last.
This dirty - little -
Heart
Is freely mine -
I won it with
a Bun -
A Freckled shrine -
But eligibly fair
To him who sees
The Visage of
the Soul
And not the
knees.
