Far from the Madding Crowd
I stroll down by the sea.
My only means of getting there,
the Road to Avonlea.
The Great Expectations that I had
have all but gone amiss
and all because I could not hide
my Pride and Prejudice.
I poured my heart and soul out
to my best friend who is Emma
but she lacks Sense and Sensibility
and I'm still in a dilemma.
I fell for an unlikely lad
known as Jude The Obscure
but he's smitten with his cousin Sue,
there's no other he'll love more
I tried to tell him it was wrong
as had sweet Anne of Green Gables
but he said that I should hold my tongue
and stop spreading nasty fables
That Sue should wear The Scarlet Letter.
She's an adulterer to be sure.
She's married yet she still pursues
my dear Jude The Obscure
And then there is Rebecca
who had beauty but no heart
and poor Jane Eyre whose marriage
was quite rocky from the start.
And what about that broody chap,
think Heathcliff was his name.
He went and put poor Catherine
through all that hurt and pain.
It often makes me wonder
if he'd always set his sights
solely on becoming
Lord of Wuthering Heights.
All these Sons and Lovers,
how their mother's must despair!
They rush into love so quickly
without neither thought nor care.
My sister too has troubles,
Mr Weston is his name.
I really think she loves him
and I hope he feels the same.
To see him with that Rosalie
leaves her in dismay.
One day I'll hope he'll notice her.
My dearest Agnes Grey.
I really should head home
before it gets too dark
and make my way back to
my beloved Mansfield Park.
