Dead Gorgeous

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, In the pout of the lips, The curve of a shoulder, Fresh flesh of the young, Beauty’s elitist domain. Eyes sparkling and huge, Skin free from life’s pain, No creases or lumps, A complexion of smooth porcelain, Ageing the ultimate crime, The real woman’s shame Beauty and youth are for sale, Go under the knife, get some more – If Beauty is only skin deep, Ugliness goes right down to the core, Look 50 when you’re 70, No need to grow up or behave, Perfect geriatric Barbies, Pouting dead in the grave
