Transformation

Ah yes, Martha,
I know her quite well,
Her outer shell - heaven,
Her soul - a bit of hell,
Pretty and charming,
Her psyche - alarming,
A rich old codger
She married,
Died mysteriously,
Was quietly buried.

She now flourishes
In the Palms,
A high society lady,
Noted for wealth,
Charity, charms...
