Analysis of Elsa Small
Elsa Small, Elsa Small,
Elsa Small all in all,
She wore her longevity,
On her favourite white shawl.
Elsa Small, Elsa Small,
Elsa Small is her name,
She might not be pleasant,
But she carries no shame.
Elsa Small, Elsa Small,
How hath she not fall,
Pity her and smother her,
Dress her up like a doll.
Elsa Small, Elsa Small,
Is a harrowing mess,
She fought off her luxuries,
And took a walk to digress.
Elsa Small, Elsa Small,
How I mourn Elsa Small,
She layed up her head,
For life's true enthrall.
Elsa Small, Elsa Small,
We miss you Miss Small,
You got out of town,
Just to infatuate alcohol.
