William Ernest Henley - Madam Life`s A Piece In BloomWilliam Ernest Henley - Madam Life`s A Piece In Bloom
Work rating: Low


Madam Life`s a piece in bloom     Death goes dogging everywhere:   She`s the tenant of the room,     He`s the ruffian on the stair.     You shall see her as a friend,   You shall bilk him once or twice;     But he`ll trap you in the end,   And he`ll stick you for her price.   With his kneebones at your chest,   And his knuckles in your throat, You would reason plead protest!   Clutching at her petticoat;   But she`s heard it all before, Well she knows you`ve had your fun,   Gingerly she gains the door, And your little job is done.
