Fourteen Wears Too Much Make Up
she came downstairs dressed for the dance
her daddy could not stop looking at her over-the-top makeup
a wise man, he said nothing until she left
to his wife
She looked younger tonight than she has looked since she was six
his wife agreed
and silly, she suggested
They both were a bit gleeful
thinking how crazy she looked with all that make up
like a second grader
