Humour first, then values

Why is it that I never shine brighter than the rest

Maybe because of circumstance, I rarely change my vest

I only have two vests and have to wait until one dries

I always use the second one to wipe the tear drops from my eyes

A bra it is not needed as pancake springs to mind

I give up on human beings as they are far from kind

From your skirt I see thread’s hanging, no, they are my legs

My legs are thin, are you saying you’ve got a problem with my pegs ?

I do not have my nails done as you ‘kindly’ let me know

I do not have much money, so I just let them grow

I do not wear designer clothes,’ pre loved’ are my best friends

I wear clothes to ‘keep me warm’ can’t afford to consider trends

You ‘wear’ clothes to ‘drape’ your body, remotely touching parts

You swagger round the room in a bid to capture hearts

So conceited are your efforts, a heart you can never win

Humanity, values and love is where you ought to begin
