RAMBLINGS EIGHT

BETRAYAL

WHAT A SURPRISE I GOT TODAY

WHEN TWO, WHOM I TRUSTED,

TOTALLY BETRAYED

THE ONE WHO CARED ABOUT

THEM BOTH.

HOW VERY UNUSUAL IT SEEMS TO ME

TO FIND TWO "GENTLEMEN" YOU SEE,

THAT SEND YOUR LETTERS TO THE OTHER.

HOW STRANGE, HOW IMPOLITE.

WOMEN BETRAY WOMEN IN MANY WAYS,

IT SEEMS TO BE INHERENT IN THEIR NATURES.

MEN BETRAY WOMEN FOR OTHER WOMEN,

BUT SURELY NOT FOR OTHER MEN.

BETRAYAL IS AN UGLY WORD,

FILLED WITH DECEIT, AND BEING A TRAITOR,

DISLOYAL IN EVERY WAY.

THIS IS SO SURPRISING TO FIND,

FOR THIS NEVER ENTERED MY MIND

ABOUT TWO LOVELY GENTLEMEN BEING

THIS WAY...BUT LET ME SAY

THAT THEY HAVE TAUGHT ME A GREAT DEAL,

FOR I TRUSTED THEM BOTH.. THEY HAVE

TAUGHT ME NEVER, EVER TO TRUST AGAIN.

THEY HAVE DONE A SPLENDID JOB OF THAT.

GOOD BYE, TRUST; HELLO, DISTRUST.
