The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Crossing borders
Eton meets Grange Hill.
My fair lady, so charming
Me.

I was beautiful

Scum

I should get back
To the gutter
Where I belong.

Vowels not round enough
For executive balls,
A golden ring
But the wrong tone.

"Scum"

My brain turned upside down,
Everything felll out.
"What do you mean?"
I fight to say.
"You what mean do?"

He laughs
As he paints me
Black.

Dyed-in-the-wool
So I drink
Bleach.

Don't swallow the bleach! It's cleansing features doesn't work on living creatures.

Nice imagery.
