Analysis of A Village



There were 100 people in a village
One was a girl
So beautiful
She was decidedly the most beautiful among them
The 99 others decided
She made them feel ugly
So she was sent away
When all she wanted to do was stay

There were 99 people in a village
One was a girl
So beautiful
She was decidedly the most beautiful among them...
