How To Be A Lady

hate want steal lust need feel

good girls don’t

hate does not perpetuate a proper

constitution a lady is to be

a walking absolution

good girls don’t

want does not allow

an appropriate altruistic attitude a

lady has no expectation of reciprocation

good girls don’t

steal what is not theirs a lady doesn’t take

that which has not been given even

if liberty livelihood life is at stake

good girls don’t

lust is unacceptable in us a lady must

at least present the pretense of protest

if she is to be seen as a desirable conquest

good girls don’t

need to desire is detrimental a lady ate the apple

succumbing to mere hunger fell the whole human race

need must be stifled to maintain a state of grace

good girls don’t

feel deprived a lady does deny

willingly emotion that might set in motion

any course of action unbecoming her station

good girls don’t

hate want steal lust need feel
