SOMETHING AS SIMPLE
AS THE SKY
IS PRETTIER
THAN I.
MORE FLOWERS ARE
PLUCKED THAN
ARE GIRLS WITH
PLAIN FACES,
AND COMPLIMENTS
IN INCREMENTS
CANNOT FILL IN
THE SPACES.
A NICE FACE IN A
TIGHT PLACE IS
MUCH BETTER
THAN GOLD,
SO DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT IS SAID
ABOUT BEAUTY
GETTING OLD.
AH, BRAINS...YEAH
SUPPOSEDLY THEY
WEIGH MORE THAN
PRETTY,
BUT THE FACE COMES
FIRST IN A ROOM
FULL OF WITTY.
A NICE FACE GETS
NOTICE,
A PLAIN ONE, NOT
SO MUCH.
A NICE FACE COMES
IN FOCUS,
A PLAIN ONE, OUT
OF TOUCH.
DON'T BELIEVE WHAT
THEY SAY,
THAT BEAUTY IS WITHIN,
BECAUSE A PLAIN ONE
IS A BEAUTY ONLY WHEN
THE LIGHTS
ARE
DIM.
