Olga took a train north, against counsel,
Concerns she countered with a proposal:
"Give me time to rehabilitate, Dad,
Restore once hard muscles, now atrophied.
I miss Antoine, so, your boy whom I wed.
But I'll look hotter when I'm better fed."

After her father-in-law departed,
A man came so close that Olga started.
"Careful, sweetheart. We'd hate for you to fall."
A real creep! but she acted casual.
Good thing he sat in the back of the car,
Far, but not safely dead-on-the-tracks far.
