Pandora's Box
She's like a chocolate box,
as pretty as can be.
She's like Pandora's Box, horrendous misery.
He's like a miter box,
as precise as can be.
He's like Pandora's Box, cut off machinery.
She's like a music box,
as tuneful as can be.
She's like Pandora's Box, discordant melody.
He's like a dealer box,
as fickle as can be.
He's like Pandora's Box, certain inconstancy.
She's like a jewel box,
as precious as can be.
She's like Pandora's Box, pilfering thievery.
He's like a shadow box,
as cautious as can be.
He's like Pandora's Box, cunningly uncanny.
