The rain was pouring until noon

With the aura of little Holly,

Making me hope that very soon

She'll give up acting so folly.


Though a child, is that an excuse

For lack of self-preservation?

How can she think others would choose

Her over every nation?


The sweetest smile, yet hard to trust,

Considering how easily she lies

To escape punishment when she must,

To deter everyone who still tries.
