Green, green riverside grass,
Lush, lush willow in the garden,
Sleek, sleek a girl upstairs,
White, white faces her window,
Fair, fair her rouge and powder
I'll probably never
make it to
the brief history
I'm padding out
bedroom shoe
As a punishment for
her attempted murders,
a pair of glowing-hot
iron shoes are brought
forth with tongs and
placed before the Queen.
She is forced to step into
the burning shoes and
to dance until she drops
dead.
