Argumentative and shrill
the first inkling I had
rang alarm bells I did not heed
but I should have.
the voice is so sweet when it is sweet
and sour when it is coarse
hoarse in the first soft words
is a curse to hear and I should have heard
but did not heed.
indeed in another life I will
ah! when I hear her the shoulders twitch
that witch knows not how I cringe.
Those first words my eyes opened wide
but my brain shut out the fierce sound.
Fool!
rang alarm bells I did not heed
but I should have.
the voice is so sweet when it is sweet
and sour when it is coarse
hoarse in the first soft words
is a curse to hear and I should have heard
but did not heed.
indeed in another life I will
ah! when I hear her the shoulders twitch
that witch knows not how I cringe.
Those first words my eyes opened wide
but my brain shut out the fierce sound.
Fool!
