TOUCH ME AT YOUR PERIL

(Song excerpt by Fay Hauser-Price)

Lady watched him from a distance

Saw him full of mystery

Watched him make his magic movements

To see who he might be

Enchanted by the pageant

She stepped a bit to near

The flames shot up so brightly

She could hardly hear him say

“Touch me at your peril

“It’s hotter than you think

“Touch me if you dare to see fantasy

“Reality

“All in a blink.”

Lady took the challenge

Of passion and of pain

As she saw him charm the children,

The old, and the insane.
