Sure Teach Her to Sing, But Just Wait Till She Gets on Stage.

"You
will
do it!"
Svengali
pushed his protégé
towards the stage. He trained her well.
He knew that she would put to an end all the questions.
Lovely, so lovely, she glances over her shoulder; perfidious he gleams, then frowns.
She smirks and begins the operatic aria
High C? She hits them all but one.
Taught her to sing, but
a Diva
that choice
still
hers.
