She Wandered Through the Garden Fence

She wandered through the garden fence
 And said, "I've brought at great expense
 A potion guaranteed to bring
 Relief from all your suffering"
 And though I said, "You don't exist"
 She grasped me firmly by the wrist
 Threw me down upon my back
 Strapped me to her torture rack
 And without further argument
 I found my mind was also bent
 Upon a course so devious
 It only made my torment worse
 She said, "I see you cannot speak
 Is it your voice that is too weak?
 Is it your tongue that is to blame?
 Maybe you cannot speak for shame
 Or has your brain been idle too
 And now it will not think for you?"
 I hastened to make my reply
 But found that I could only lie
 Like a fool I believed myself
 And thought I was somebody else
 But she could see what I was then
 And left me on my own again
 Like a fool I believed myself
 And thought I was somebody else
 But she could see what I was then
 And left me on my own again
 She wandered through the garden fence
 And said, "I've brought at great expense
 A potion guaranteed to bring
 Relief from all your suffering"
 And though I said, "You don't exist"
 She grasped me firmly by the wrist
 Threw me down upon my back
 Strapped me to her torture rack
 And without further argument
 I found my mind is also bent
 Upon a course so devious
 It only made my torment worse
