Bad Penny
\nby cricketjeff on September 4, 2010.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nThe man she loved was tall and softly spoken,
\nBut there were days she sampled something more,
\nA careless call, her lover left heartbroken,
\nThe best in life left trampled on the floor.<\/p>\n
She found a man no woman should have trusted,
\nWho promised her the stars and floods of gold.
\nHis crazy schemes saw many people busted,
\nNowhere to hide when paper castles fold.<\/p>\n
What kind of fool repeats her tragic errors?
\nWho always wants to steal an extra mile?
\nYou’d think by now she’d sense the hidden terrors
\nBut common sense has never seemed her style.<\/p>\n
She’ll always be the girl that never learned,
\nThat everyone who plays with fire gets burned.<\/p>\n
