Maggie laughs a wild white mountain torrent
Sparkling emerald eyes melt the dark cloud
She's a sphinx from hell or heaven sent
To blaze then fade behind her auburn shroud
A cunning cute glimpse of golden rays
Inflame dull drowsy energies awake
Bringing to life the whisky sozzled days
Of every roving rascal rogue and rake

MacAlister sets his sights around the room
Penetrating every mind with frigid glare
He rants and raves a sermon...
