The Ballad of Leila
There once was a girl named Leila
With blue eyes tinted green
This was no ordinary Indian girl
She sought out new worlds unseen
This girl, Leila was very rich
She was very well dressed
Her hair was always perfect
Her room never messed
Leila was very curious
She had never been poor
So when she heard about a ship to America
And people being poor she stepped out the door
Her family disagreed
They told her "Please Stay"
But she ignored their words of wisdom
And she went on her way
Life on the ship was very hard
For Leila almost unbearable
The food sucked; the crew was rude
And all the nights were tearable
Eight months past
A second before
They wanted to give up
But they sighted shore
This new world was weird
Something Leila had never seen before
Her mind went wild
As she stepped up on the shore
The people of the new world were nice
Even when Leila was stressed
Leila couldn't stop herself from saying
"God has made me blessed"
Leila liked the new world
So she thought to herself and said
I think I might live here
Till the day I'm dead
She followed her wodr
And this she did do
Leila lived in America
Till the old age of eighty-two
