steampoweredsazerac:

Once upon a dim stage dreary, while I twirled, weak and weary

Under many quaint and curious gaze’s of voyeurs wanting more

While I spun round, nearly falling, suddenly there came a calling

the voice of which was quite appalling, appalling and it screamed out “WHORE”

Tis’ some drunkard, I muttered, screaming out the insult “WHORE”

Only this and nothing more.

Reblogging again for the excellent prose.
