The Rape of the Lock and Other Poems

A hideous crime is committed at a fashionable London society gathering. The victim is the beautiful, innocent Belinda, her attacker is the dastardly Baron, and his weapon of choice is a pair of scissors. A hilarious mock epic, this is the sharp and witty tale of the most famous bad hair day in the history of literature.

A satirical poem that intentionally over-dramatizes an incident in which a lock of a woman's hair is cut without her permission.
