And Now For Some Serious Drama.

 Just as the blackbird likes to feign escape,

loudly darting away in full alarm,

yet knowing well there's no danger of harm,

likewise little girls commonly compete

to achieve the shrillest possible screech,

just for the sensation of being bold,

just to pierce the eardrums of the old,

just to attempt to crack heaven's ceiling,

just for the perfectly thrilling feeling

of suffering some final frightful fate.
