Passion will make you crazy

(but is there any other way to live)*

I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie

With whom I shared Four sordid rooms in Chelsea

She wasn't what you'd call

A blushing flower.

..As a matter of fact She rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighborscame to snicker:

"Well, thats what comes from to much pills and liquor."

But when I saw her laid out like a Queen

She was the happiest...corpse...I'd ever seen.**
