Kill None But The Brave Lover
No mistress is so passing fair
As Bluebeard in his grave
A mistress can be anywhere
And still not misbehave
But I, who call no mistress mine,
Bluebeard still calls his mate
Which serves, perhaps, to redefine
The lusts I need to sate.
When life and death stand side by side
It's hard to make a choice
When cereal and cyanide
Cry out with equal voice
Yet I, who favour neither fate
Now flip a coin unfair
As Bluebeard opens wide the gate
And leaves me standing there
