Standard (EADGBE)

She came in smelling of cabbages

Pumpkin roots and all winter's ravages

She came in around dawn

Took her coat off

Burdened down by the Russian winter

Felt the warmth of the hearth

Bathed a while naked in hot water

Wash away imminent disaster

Thinking through her today

And the murder

Of the bailiff and the landowner

Felt no shame

Only gain

Cleansed the pike

Peeled all the potatoes

Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos

Served it up for her son and her daughter

For the last time she imagines

Reprobates lie in wait
