Forget the tiger, embrace the liar,
make decisions with your right-hand vision,
stoke an ego to replace the fire
that was quelled by the downstroke's derision:
Changing faces mean contrasting habits –
what was once a smile are now tired eyes
looking for a way out of quicksand pits,
and finding release every time she cries:
Who? Well, the Flying Empress of the East,
better known for laughs than her flightiness,
but increasingly wishy from the Beast
and way more washy – mind and heart amiss:
No need to pander to the patria –
my isla's shores are always popular.
