She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHtCjx5itW
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wbrJGarFX
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPXpBbDIux
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuURS68HsI5
My daughter in law, a high school dropout?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxdAwaDDGw

When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHrQUZHhBI
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIvQp9gZYZ
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDeNqKdvsy
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWsaBXoHJ5
Without her, my son was going to be a rich enough oligarchy,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlBQOemFVl

And now, his death had left me quite weak,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqHULWPZSH
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aGjl64QHX

But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdelpyGoUn
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO3OgVXC3V
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNQS13L4lt
Now his face purple, dark marks tainted on his neck,327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj1vqKk6BT
My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
