Oh Goddess of all that is most beauteous on this vile earth!

Oh treat not on the hearts of the boys who turn their heads.

 

Your exquisite fortune smiles down upon me,

twisting my arm into pretzel-like state.

My Muse weeps as you disrespect her timing,

her fancy foowork falls, failing

when it is forced.

Ah, golden-haired Aphrodite

Oh Venus!

art thou a worthy goddess? December

proclaimed your worth resplendently

 

It shouts from the wall:

She is good

She is good

Tatiana has been heard, at last!
