"Hello," she purrs,
To the boy dressed in blue.
The boy looks at her.
"May I help you?"
"Oh, I have a favor,"
Evil girl grins.
The boy ignores her
And around he spins.
He stacks dirty dishes
Into neat little piles.
Unfazed, evil girl
Tries one more of her smiles.
"I'll give you fifty bucks,"
She waves a bill in the air.
Crash! goes the dishes.
The boy says, "I'm there."
"See that girl?" she asks,
Points, and he looks.
Tasha is sitting, with
Some water and books.
She's deeply buried
In a book called "Jane Eyre".
"That girl?" the boy asks.
"That girl over there?"
"Precisely!" she cries.
"Here's what you'll do.
You'll talk to her,
Ask questions, a few.
Then on my signal,
You'll kiss her! Oh yes!
And then--"
"Wait a sec!
That will make a big mess!"
"It will not," she says calmly.
"It will not, and I know!"
"Well I'm sorry," the boy says.
"But I will not go."
"Yes you will," she snarls,
"Because if you don't,
You'll no longer work here.
Oh no, you won't."
"You witch," he spits.
"You selfish old jerk.
Whatever your plan is,
I hope it won't work."
With that he storms off,
On his way to fulfill,
The terrible deed.
The evil girl's will.
