Ice Queen

Ice wouldn’t melt in her mouth;
Her eyes full of calculation,
Buried behind a smile
And a beautiful body,
Ice Queen has it all weighed up -
But something’s gone wrong.
Quick!
Time’s running out!
Find a man!
She hunts through the pack,
Shuffles the cards,
Finds one that’s dumb.
Not too bright, not too aware,
He sleepwalks to her tits and curving finger,
Fascinated by her face and figure,
Seeing warmth and laughter
Where all others hear ice-crystals shatter.
There’s a mundane life ahead of you now, my son;
You’ll work for her baubles,
Be shaped by her foibles,
Drown in her desires, which won’t be fires.
Ahh!
Enjoy her cold warmth for a while,
Imagine you’ve found The One.
There’s no escape;
She’s far too clever,
The future’s mapped out,
The trap’s been sprung.

The ice-queen is a cold, cold fish who has everything - the looks, the brains, the social skills - but who lacks warmth and finds (in her 30s) that she hasn’t children, that she hasn’t a long-term relationship, and who very deliberately then picks her way through the available men before deciding on one poor sap.
