So very fair, ensnare your stare

This coat I wear beyond compare

I'd love to share my glamor rare

But only if I'm free as air

Instead your care creates a snare

Caged while you hunt down my pair

And if I dare to bear an heir

They're doomed a future of despair

A nightmare born from pure welfare

Upon my cell I rip and tear

Disrepair within this lair

My sanity becomes threadbare

Spare yourself this sad affair

If you possess great beauty rare

Beware the ones who overbear

They flare those that are debonair

My aid I swear, my freedom impair

And so I offer you my prayer
