Palm Beach High Society

She was a virgin,
Only in name,
For since fourteen
Prostitution was her game,
But she searched
And looked around
Till a young scion
Of a wealthy family she found,
Using some shrewd pretense,
She faked her innocence,
He fell in love,
Called her his honey,
Married her, but died soon
After eating mushrooms
Tasting rather funny.

She's now a wealthy widow
With loads of money,
And with all proper propriety
Joined Palm Beach high society.
