O, when she’s angry, she is keen and shrewd! / She was a vixen when she went to school; / And now she is a sparse, shrewd, and knavish sprite / She’s as angry as a bear, and as furious as a lion. / She’s as fierce as a storm, and as wild as a tiger. / Her voice is loud and harsh, and her words are quick and sharp. / She’s a tempest in a teapot, a whirlwind in a glass, / A storm on a summer day, a fire in a furnace. / She’s a dragon, a devil, a demon, a witch. / She’s a fury, a firebrand, a scourge, a scourge. / She’s a tiger, a lioness, a she-beast, a she-devil. / She’s a witch, a witch, a witch! / She’s a scold, a shrew, a shrewish woman. / She’s a scold, a shrew, a shrewish woman. / She’s a scold, a shrew, a shrewish woman.
