Bow Wow

This is so the entire world through,

You imagine a maiden loves yough—

Like the wind bends the bough,

You are bent by the rough,

Then left and forsaken—bough-wough.

Before marriage,

With wondrous care,

She seeks the mirror

And bangs her hair.

After marriage,

With angry glare,

She grabs her slipper

And bangs her heir.
