  (Q) 1 (SONG) TO RHEA!

User Rating:

6.8 /10
(14 votes)



  Bathed in moonlight and sunkissed in the day
Rhea with the long tresses and nowhere to stay
Thin as a waif, will qualify for a model on the ramp
She starves herself to feed her little tramps
Yes, She starves herself to feed her little tramps

Found in the garbage, wailing to feel a heartbeat
Rhea with the long tresses was raised on the streets
She still frequents the garbage to scavenge it deep
A bunch of children flocking like sheep
Yes, A bunch of children flocking like sheep

Moving around like a princess with her head held high
Rhea with the long tresses and heart in the sky
She will kick any man...ouch! in the groin
Will not have anyone throwing a coin
Yes, will not have anyone throwing a coin

Little by little, her flock continues to grow
Rhea with the long tresses and her beloved's a crow
They are the biggest family in the whole coast
To her beautiful spirit, lets raise a toast
Yes, to her beautiful spirit, lets raise a toast

Your Rhea is a proud and tragic figure. She deserves a song. Very memorable
work. The sadness echoes long after the last line has been written. Take care.

Warmest regards,

Sandra
