Once upon a time,

She obsessed over every rhyme

- what talent it must've been

To reuse a well-known evergreen.


Once upon a decade,

All was a sin she forbade;

Nothing not hers could ever be done right

Unless preceded by a lost fight.


Once upon a single day,

She realized she herself had to pay

For her own words, for her own kills...

Suddenly quiet, she turned to apologies as a way of paying bills.
