  • [Edgar:]
  • Never bet the devil your head
  • When I was an infant
  • my mother treated me like a tough steak
  • To her well regulated mind
  • babies were the better for beatings
  • But she was left handed

  • But the one thing that I lust after
  • Is the one thing I've never had
  • So is it too much to ask
  • Too have just one taste of the cask
  • Why you could go kiss my ass for the cask
  • of Amontillado
  • Edgar old fellow
  • dear bosom friend
  • Hail fellow well met
  • oh great elucidator
  • great epopee

  • Haha..
