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

Beauty at a price.


Sultry eyes that would entice you
The streams of red hair a siren sounding
The curving form unspoilt by man
Endorsing all that fears and excites you

All natures spoils and aye, her finest china,
Etched upon the artists canvas she will shine
For hers are riches only mortals dream of
Such beauty has more power than any King

Gaze upon her only while you pass,
Set not your stall to court such maiden fair
In such company you have no standing
In such company it's yours to only stare

Beauty has a price the cost is high
As judged in looks not life her destiny
And coveted by noblemen, trophy hunters all
A curse upon her soul her cross to bear,

Seek not your fortune here please look elsewhere
For fated to a life inside the hidden cage
Beauty will devour the unsuspecting
And spit you out with all your contents bare.
