The Ugly Girl

She sat in her room through her Prom quite late unfondly recalling she did not have a date There's no one special nor had there ever been this pretty sweet girl was born ugly as sin. "Pretty girls are lucky, she spoke aloud If only he'd ask, I know he'd be proud I can smile and dance and sing him a song I'd sure never cheat or do my man wrong!" At the crack of dawn her phone didn't ring Nothing to do, no not one single thing but hope that some guy would give her a chance To buy a Prom dress for the upcoming dance! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - All you ladies out there, you probably never had this problem. Count your blessings....

Awwww, I was so hoping some guy would call and ask her out. I was expecting her to get all dolled up and to look amazing. I'd love to find out if she gets a date eventually. Very touching poem, Judy : ) Jack
