The Gypsy girl has knowing eyes <br />That see much for one so young <br />Practiced is she at telling lies <br />And using her flowery tongue <br /> <br />The skills she learned from another <br />Do stand her in good stead <br />For taught she was by her mother <br />To ensure they both get fed <br /> <br />They carry the bag upon the arm <br />And knock from door to door <br />To sell the heather or a charm <br />To the rich and to the poor <br /> <br />'Buy from a Gypsy' is what they say <br />'And good luck will follow you' <br />'Health and wealth for you today' <br />But the opposite is true <br /> <br />For untrue are the story's that she tells <br />Both each and every day <br />As flawed as the trinkets that she sells <br />And for neither should you pay<br /><br />Gypsy Boy Varey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gypsy-girl-3/
