The Tale of Raymond and Pearl
I knew a wicked man who married a wicked girl
They had two wicked children, Raymond and Pearl
Ray became a pirate and sailed the seven seas
Pearl became a temptress, bringing men to their knees
Ray stole money from the rich, never giving to the poor
Pearl sold her body, many strangers called her whore
Ray was captured by the navy and hung until dead
Pearl caught a disease and died alone in her bed
Is there a moral to this tale, a meaning to this rhyme?
If I need to tell you, then I've not caught you in time
