POETRY

Vanity

*A tongue in cheek poem inspired during a period of time

when the Chinese Sugar Girl forgot to take care of herself,
and caught a glimpse in the mirror afterwards!

Where and what would a girl be,

Without so simple a thing as Vanity?

Why, poets would have nothing to write about,

And lovers fail to woo her in a crowd;

Her hair would hang bored and black,

Her back without pride go slack;

Her palms would splay out coarse with callouses,

Her gait sprawl wide and careless;

Her face would display a ghastly truth-(not all God's creatures are beautiful)

She'd never be late for a meeting, of course,

Still she'd be a sight for which to pause,

And gaze at with gaping bafflement,

Before each tries to lose that sad sad moment;

Because it would then be plain to see,

A girl would be Nowhere without her Vanity!
