The Virgin (II)

 

The virgin was a good ballerina

As she danced she'd conceal her joyous laugh

Her prim figure was muscular and strong

Her movements were light and filled with beauty

The smartest man would glare at her in awe

They talked to her so their morals would grow.

 

The years passed, the virgin's value did grow

She was more than a nice ballerina

She was a strong attribute of their awe

She was more than the Mona Lisa's laugh

But contemporary, she was beauty

It was the modern age and she was strong.

 

Others were tripped by lust, but she was strong

She never gave in, her value did grow.

There was recognition of her beauty

She'd be a prosperous ballerina

Since the men were entreated by her laugh

They'd talk to her and gaze at her in awe.

 

In turn, she would listen to them in awe

She would never fall prey, for she was strong.

Falling snow and sleet, the sound of her laugh,

Over the years, more valuable did grow.

In form, she was but a ballerina

A masterpiece with virginal beauty.

 

It's hard to find uncorrupted beauty

In the modern day, we see it with awe

As she performs, the prim ballerina.

As time goes by, she will but remain strong

Her own self-importance will only grow.

National importance is due her laugh.

 

Those who talk to her are stunned by her laugh

Even through this she bestows much beauty

Her reputation will certainly grow

Internationally, they'll gaze in awe

Eloquent, epic, shock-story so strong

Much to surprise them, this ballerina.

 

Musical laugh of the ballerina

Her beauty so meticulous and strong

She will grow, they'll all gaze at her in awe.
