Beauty Duty

A girl who stood out in the queue
Was surprised how quickly love grew
But deep down inside
She knew that he lied
And her dream would end with eye dew

I suspect more relationships end with eye dew than, "I do" . . . . , Aloha!

My eldest sister was endowed with mountains for breasts, and learnt in her early teens that males were not really interested in her, but would say or do anything just to get their hands on her assets. Beauty has a price to pay! Thank you for reading and commenting! Aloha!
