Analysis of Willy Way Mark

Torn Clasic 1947 (Florida)



Willy, dear Willy Way Mark

Lived just south of the park

He got married one day

Took a woman to live his way

She lived hers and he lived his

All was fine until he quizzed

He asked her a simple favor

She refused in a fever

And just before he was dead

He yelled “she doesn’t care”

As she bashed in his head
