I think I'll stay for a little while,

Since I've killed the trust with arrogance and guile.

A truth I promised I'd never defile,

So I'll grit my teeth and force a smile;

Allow myself to remain versatile.

Ironic it is, to cling to this isle

But swimming away sees a hopeless trial

Still, I manage to show my smile

And display my contentment so passive, so vile

A fitting tribute to my Lily of the Nile

That's always been my vulgar style

To ignore the past and crack a smile
