a/n: i feel so woefully inadequate.

In research studies right now. I seriously need to pay attention but. whatever.

entertain the crown

you don't know what to say

so you don't say a thing

you know just how to tease

and then get away

but fish tend to stray

too close to the bait

and sometime, someday

they'll catch it

(and maybe you won't make

them let go)

and then…

what?

you'll be left with nothing

no jewels

no youth

and the lucky fish

will surely discard you

(who wants a second-hand

useless toy?

definitely not your audience

and they discard trash)

so settle

down

molly-doll

now

before you get burned

(when you play with fiendfyre, love?

no-one gets out alive.

definitely not smug servants

serving scullery boys)
