Nouveau Riche in the Palms

From virgin to bitch,
from angel to witch,
from rags to rich
but still into kitsch,
this lady of the night
turned into society's delight,
she married rich, old men thrice,
a bit of senility attracted by vice,
two found their speedy demise
eating poisonous mushrooms with rice,
the third one fell out of bed
and fatally hit his head,
the poisoning she could not repeat
'cause mushrooms he refused to eat,
now, she's high society in the Palms,
admired for her wealth and charms,
but her past gives her no qualms.
