Wanda won the fashion show three years running   Her mandarin dress heirloom from her mother   And her lightened skin and straightened hair were stunning      Across her victorious seafood supper, she saw a young man, dapper   And asked if he would meet with her some time      Afraid to turn her down, aware of her new crown   He took her to the poshest place in town   She still was not aware that he was not a wealthy man      His measly zoo-worker’s wage destroyed by just the starters page   He asked her to excuse him a short while      Dalian shied away   Through the bathroom window he made his escape   He tore his rented suit, had to leave his borrowed shoes   Grazed his arm and broke the latch along the way      He’d merely snuck into the fashion show this year   As a challenge and a wager from a peer   His previous convictions and his ketamine addiction denied him entry legitimately      So Dalian shied away   And started typing his life into a play   Called ‘Dalian Shied Away’   But he never finished, only ever got half way
