A Painful Winter of Flattery
-when it was jokingly done
-in the august winter of flattery
-a brooding word of truth
-carelessly taken for granted
-and sold to the winds wills
-with a sweet smelling tounge
-that lashes out as treachery
-painting colours of a painful
-winter of treachery
-for a consequuencies so hard
