Don't cry for me, my sestina,
the truth is I'll never write you.
You're too damn tricky
without assistance.
This I can promise,
so keep your distance.

God! I'm laughing so hard I'm going into cardiac arrest!

Waaay better than the Tim Rice original. Maybe Madonna can record it.

Bravo.

Cool

Don't cry for me, my sestina,
